Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers are developing a radical system that uses chlorine atoms to hunt down and defuse planet-warming methane in animal ...
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine this week looked at the possibilities of removing methane emissions directly from the air. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is ...
Decades of buried trash is releasing methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, at higher rates than previously estimated, the researchers said. By Hiroko Tabuchi They’re vast expanses that can be as big as ...
Methane is the second biggest greenhouse gas contributor to climate change. It’s also 84 times more potent than culprit number one, carbon dioxide. Unsurprisingly, 60% of global emissions result from ...
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can pack more than 25 times the global warming punch of carbon dioxide, and atmospheric methane emissions have been growing significantly since 2007. So it’s ...
The study by Maarten van Herpen et al., entitled “Photocatalytic Chlorine Atom Production on Mineral Dust-Sea Spray Aerosols over North Atlantic,” was funded in part by the NGO Spark Climate Solutions ...
In a spectacular new study, researchers have used light and chlorine to eradicate low-concentration methane from air. The result gets us closer to being able to remove greenhouse gases from livestock ...
