A catalyst using a single or just a few palladium atoms removed 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures in a recent study. While more research needs to be done, the ...

Scientists have engineered a highly selective catalyst that can convert methane, a major component of natural gas, into methanol, an easily transportable liquid fuel, in a single, one-step reaction.

Methane is an exceedingly potent greenhouse gas emitted during biogenic, pyrogenic, and thermogenic processes spanning a variety of both natural and anthropogenic sources, such as wildfires and ...

The oil and gas industry may be emitting about three-times the amount of climate-warming methane than government estimates show, according to a new study in Nature. Methane is the main component of ...
