Catalytic methane oxidation and combustion represent a critical domain in energy and environmental research. Methane, as the principal component of natural gas, is a promising low-carbon fuel; however ...

Flaring – the practice of burning natural gas that escapes from oil and gas wells to reduce methane emissions – is much less effective than previously thought, according to a new study by Genevieve ...

Researchers have developed a cutting edge catalyst made up of 10 different elements -- each of which on its own has the ability to reduce the combustion temperature of methane -- plus oxygen. This ...

Air quality regulators endorsed a compromise plan agreed to by environmental groups and public and private landfill operators ...

Carbon dioxide isn't the only culprit responsible for global warming. The U.S. is emitting more methane from oil and gas production than previously thought – and it's causing billions of dollars in ...

Large methane leaks at oil and gas facilities across the United States not only unleash massive plumes of the potent greenhouse gas, but also carry a toxic mix of air pollutants that jeopardize the ...

UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut energy lost as methane and boost feed ...
