Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere ...

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a ...

Methane comes in different isotopic signatures. Methane from fossil fuels like natural gas leaks or coal mines is heavier, ...

In a paradox of air pollution, a decrease in man-made pollutants led to more methane in our atmosphere. And natural wetlands released more of the planet-warming gas at the same time ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, warming the planet far faster than carbon dioxide over the short term.

New research reveals that drying forest soils can boost methane uptake, offering a small but important climate benefit as warming continues.

Forest soils have an important role in protecting our climate: They remove large quantities of methane—a powerful greenhouse ...

Temporary carbon removal can help counter methane’s warming impact, supporting faster progress toward global climate goals.

Atmospheric methane rose faster than ever in the early 2020s, driven less by fossil fuels and more by changes in nature itself.

As mighty glaciers melt in the Arctic, new research finds million-year-old methane gas trapped beneath the ice is surfacing, with a potential to further warm the planet. "Glacial retreat is the big ...

A change in atmospheric chemistry during the covid pandemic resulted in methane concentrations spiking, raising concerns that ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...
