Climate talks often revolve around reducing the most dangerous greenhouse gas CO 2. But other powerful heat-trapping emissions—of methane—will be in the crosshairs at a global forum in Geneva this ...

An International study has analyzed methane gas fluxes in over a hundred tidal wetlands and marshes in the USA. The analysis has identified key environmental factors affecting methane emissions and ...

In 2024, Azerbaijan’s state oil company launched a push to almost completely cancel out methane emissions within a decade.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. Flames of burning methane near a well in the Bakken Oil ...

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 ...

High above Earth, a cutting-edge satellite is zooming around the planet 15 times a day. It is hunting for leaks of methane — an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the planet.

Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop. Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those ...

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 ...

A new study reveals more leaks from oil and gas operations, but it’ll take satellites, planes, and more to find all the culprits. Methane emissions in the US are worse than scientists previously ...

An SwRI-led team used Webb telescope observations (white) to detect methane gas on the distant dwarf planet Makemake. Sharp emission peaks near 3.3 microns reveal methane in the gas phase above ...
