Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, far more potent than carbon dioxide is. And so we hope to look for this by sampling the air in different locations and really try to get an answer to that ...

Partnering with Modern Hydrogen, the San Antonio utility will explore onsite hydrogen production -- without the CO₂ emissions ...

NASA climate study traces big increase in methane 01:07. Recent research has shown that oil and gas extraction emits much more methane gas than previously believed.

Considering both inefficient flaring and gas that doesn’t get flared, the real efficiency is around 91 percent, the team found. Inefficient combustion means that not all the methane ends up ...

With new drilling technologies, natural gas extraction has boomed in recent years. In British Columbia, hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. “fracking”) in previously hard-to-reach deposits enabled ...

Humans have increased the amount of methane in the atmosphere by about 150% since 1750.The extraction of fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal is the largest source of methane emissions.

Researchers from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh are looking at a method of extracting methane from Arctic permafrost, in a way ...

Scientists from Skoltech and Heriot-Watt University proposed extracting methane by injecting flue gas into permafrost hydrate reservoirs. Since the flue gas contains carbon dioxide, the new ...

Abandoned gas and oil wells becoming an environmental threat in the U.S. 02:43 Experts say slashing methane emissions is essential to staving off the worst effects of global warming, with the ...

Burned gas separated from methane hydrate gas is seen on the deep-sea drilling vessel "Chikyu" in the Pacific, off Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, in this handout photo taken and released by ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras have developed a new, energy-efficient technique to extract methane gas trapped in gas hydrates – ice-like cages present in shallow ...

U.S. clamps down on oil and gas firms releasing potent greenhouse gas. A new rule restricts releases of methane from companies that have leases to extract fossil fuels from federal lands ...
