At Indonesia’s largest landfill, Bantargebang, waste picker Nur Wencih fears a sweeping government crackdown on open dumping ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

The catalytic combustion of methane offers a pathway to convert methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into carbon dioxide and water at temperatures significantly lower than those required for conventional ...

A common practice in the oil industry called flaring is believed to cut down on methane emissions by burning waste or excess gas in the process of extracting or processing oil. But flaring may not be ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, significantly contributing to global warming. It also affects the formation of other climate-relevant substances like ozone and water ...

Some 50 oil and gas companies worldwide have pledged to shore up leaky methane systems by 2030, a move that could rapidly reduce emissions of the potent gas and forestall some climate change effects — ...

Today's catalysts for removing unburnt methane from natural-gas engine exhaust are either inefficient at low, start-up temperatures or break down at higher operating temperatures. A new single-atom ...

In the spring of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic brought global industry and travel nearly to a halt, satellite sensors recorded a dramatic plunge in nitrogen dioxide, a byproduct of internal ...

Methane, which produces more warming than other greenhouse gasses and is the subject of newly announced U.S. emission restrictions, is hard to break down and keep out of the atmosphere. It's not that ...

Natural gas stoves release methane -- a potent greenhouse gas -- and other pollutants through leaks and incomplete combustion. Researchers estimate that methane leaking from stoves inside U.S. homes ...
