A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences sheds light on the complex relationship between methane emissions and the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer. The research underscores ...

A frozen lake near Wudaoliang on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau captures the striking sight of trapped gas bubbles beneath the ice. As global temperatures rise, the thawing of lake ice could accelerate the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Methane is an especially potent greenhouse gas, causing much more warming than carbon dioxide on a unit-for-unit basis—and a new, uniquely long-term study of emissions at a New Jersey landfill ...

For decades, the environmental cost of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry has been measured by oil spills that poison rivers and gas flares that light up the skies of the Niger Delta. Yet another ...

Microwave-assisted coal processing harnesses electromagnetic energy in the microwave band to induce rapid, volumetric heating within coal seams. By converting microwave radiation into thermal energy ...
