Turning dangerous waste into something useful may sound futuristic, but it’s becoming a reality. Scientists from Vienna University of Technology have developed a new way to turn battery waste and used ...

Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid fuel. Chemists from Northwestern University have developed a way to convert ...

The biggest challenge to limiting climate change to 2°C, the upper target of the 2015 Paris agreement, is this: methane emissions are rising very fast. Methane is a greenhouse gas that, molecule for ...

The amount and proportion of the powerful heat-trapping gas methane that humans spew into the atmosphere is rising, helping to turbocharge climate change, a new study finds. Tuesday's study finds that ...

Countries and corporations like pledging to reduce methane—in part because reducing methane emissions seems like low-hanging fruit: You can cut a lot just by reducing leaks and excess flaring from ...

One of the worst methane leaks ever recorded was detected from a remote well in Kazakhstan. "The magnitude and the duration of the leak is frankly unusual," said Manfredi Caltagirone, head of the UN's ...
