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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

A recently-discovered chemical process could have led to widespread formation of the greenhouse gas methane when Earth was young. The reaction doesn’t involve living organisms, so could have occurred ...
