Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...

Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough way to turn natural gas—long burned as fuel—into valuable chemical building blocks ...

An international team of scientists has reached a major milestone in sustainable energy research, developing a highly efficient method for converting methane into ethanol. Mechanism for photocatalytic ...

Proposed methane regulations for the oil and gas industry are in the works in the United States and the European Union. These new rules—especially the U.S. regulations—could play a critical role in ...

It's short-lived but its planet-heating effects are much stronger than CO2. But a new report says action on cutting methane is too slow. Where does it come from, and what can we do to stop it ...

Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...
