Data from MethaneSAT will help measure methane pollution from oil and gas facilities worldwide, with both a broad scope and exacting precision.

Methane is a potent climate pollutant. To help speed reductions, EDF scientists have conducted extensive research on methane and its impact on the climate.

Beyond operating wells and pipelines, the IEA highlights another culprit: abandoned fossil fuel sites. Old oil and gas wells and defunct coal mines continue to leak methane into the atmosphere. In ...

Rapid shift in methane carbon isotopes suggests microbial emissions drove record high atmospheric methane growth in 2020–2022 ...

Methane (CH4), one of the most abundant natural gases on Earth, is still widely used to power several buildings and to fuel some types of vehicles. Despite its widespread use, storing and transporting ...

Lawmakers in Congress are contemplating delaying a methane polluter fee in the name of unleashing domestic energy production. Environmental advocates say the move could jeopardize progress made in ...

An international research collaboration, including scientists from the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems - Stratosphere at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany, has revealed how air pollutants ...

The essence of adsorption is a spontaneous tendency of coal to reduce specific surface energy by reducing surface tension, and the mutual electric force between the coal surface and methane molecules ...

Atmospheric methane concentrations have more than doubled since preindustrial times, intensifying the global climate crisis. We experimentally examined the performance of microwave plasma for the ...

Oil and gas industry groups in the EU and U.S. are actively lobbying to weaken the EU’s new methane emissions regulation. The EU methane rules, adopted in 2024 and set for full implementation by ...
