Go back a generation of development, and excepting the shuttle-derived systems, all liquid rockets used RP-1 (aka kerosene) for their first stage. Now it seems everybody and their dog wants to fuel ...

A year ago, BP PLC announced it was taking steps to reduce emissions of climate-warming methane from its operations and set a clear target for those leaks. Yesterday, the company said it has already ...

The world has long lacked the data it needs to reduce emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. But that is changing.

The world is moving in a perilous direction when it comes to planet-warming methane emissions, which are soaring to record highs driven largely by human activity, new research warns. In April of this ...

Methane concentrations in Earth's atmosphere increased at record speed over the past five years. At least two-thirds of annual methane emissions now come from human activities, including fossil fuel ...

Every time a cow burps or passes gas, a little puff of methane wafts into the atmosphere. Each of those puffs coming out of a cow’s plumbing, added together, can have a big effect on climate because ...

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

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 ...

This year is shaping up to be the hottest on record. And while carbon dioxide dominates the climate conversation, another powerful pollutant, methane, requires our urgent attention. In fact, reducing ...

This study will consider the need and viable options for atmospheric methane removal--one category of "negative emissions technologies" currently being explored as part of efforts to achieve net-zero ...

The catalytic combustion of methane hinges on the ability of a solid catalyst to activate the robust C–H bond and facilitate complete oxidation at temperatures well below those required for thermal ...
