Direct conversion of methane (CH 4) to high-value-added chemicals at room temperature, by directly using abundant and low-cost molecular oxygen (O 2) as an oxidant, is an ideal route for CH 4 ...

Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...

Fred Pearce has a fascinating story in New Scientist this week on methane, which he dubs "the next fossil fuel." At first glance, the vast frozen deposits of methane clathrates around the Arctic look ...

What is the environmental impact of methane? Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a potent short-livedgreenhouse gas (GHG), with a global warming potential (GWP) around 28 times greater ...

Methane — a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide — plays a major role in controlling the Earth’s climate. But methane concentrations in the atmosphere today are 150% higher than before ...
