Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a much stronger short-term effect on warming than carbon dioxide. Over the near-term ...

A research team led by Dr. Shi Hailiang at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is delaying the implementation of restrictions on planet-warming methane emissions ...

Our new report, Unfinished Business, examines the issue of methane leaks from Canada’s non-producing wells. The report’s ...

The methane budget report found that waste was responsible for nearly a fifth of global methane emissions in 2020. And while not all of that comes from food waste, a good portion of it does.

A Clean Air Task Force study from June found emissions of methane and carbon dioxide increased 4% in the Appalachian basin between 2015-2022, even though emissions dropped nationally.

The source of methane emissions can be broadly broken down into two categories: human sources, which primarily stem from agriculture, fossil fuels, landfills and waste; and natural sources such as ...

Yet there is an even more potent planet-warming gas whose destructive powers have long gone hidden — until now. Methane traps heat in the atmosphere with 80 times the power of CO 2 over 20 years.

An International study led by UAB researcher Ariane Arias-Ortiz, and published in Global Change Biology, has analysed methane gas fluxes in over a hundred tidal wetlands and marshes in the USA ...

Many oil and gas companies aim to achieve near-zero methane emissions in fossil fuel production and other upstream activities by 2030, but none globally have reduction targets for all their ...

Cow flatulence can warm the planet, emitting a harmful methane gas that stays in the atmosphere and traps heat from the sun. But UC Davis researchers have a partial solution.
