About half of the landfills in the US collect and burn methane, mitigating the danger but still contributing to atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide levels

Scientists have developed a new system to convert methane into a deep green, energy-rich, gelatin-like substance that can be used as the basis for biofuels and other bioproducts, specialty chemicals—and even feed for cows

As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Even when that cloud is 109,000 metric tons of methane

New study determines that much of the ocean’s dissolved organic matter is made up of novel polysaccharides—long chains of sugar molecules created by photosynthetic bacteria in the upper ocean

Using computer models of the warming process, the researchers simulated the effects of PETM ocean warming on sediments that may have contained methane hydrate

Paper takes a closer look at the role of greenhouse gases coming from land ecosystems by including methane and nitrous oxide emissions in addition to carbon dioxide simultaneously

There are several questions surrounding the powerful greenhouse gas methane. Its rapid but irregular increase in the atmosphere has puzzled researchers

On their most recent trip to study seeps, Indiana State University scientists made a big discovery regarding a tiny creature that lives in both seep and non-seep habitats.

Study shows the effect that growing beaver population is having on habitat and methane gas emissions

Astronomers searching the atmospheres of alien worlds for gases that might be produced by life can't rely on the detection of just one type, such as oxygen, ozone, or methane, because in some cases these gases can be produced non-biologically, according to extensive simulations by researchers in the NASA Astrobiology Institute’s Virtual Planetary Laboratory.
