Natural gas accounts for over 28 percent of US energy consumption. Its main component, methane, is a widely-used fossil fuel but also a major contributor to rising CO 2 levels, and thus climate change ...

Catalytic methane oxidation and combustion represent a critical domain in energy and environmental research. Methane, as the principal component of natural gas, is a promising low-carbon fuel; however ...

Despite observations of massive methane release and geohazards associated with gas hydrate instability in nature, as well as ductile flow accompanying hydrate dissociation in artificial ...

Scientists have discovered a method to control the gas-phase selective catalytic combustion of methane, so finely that if done at room temperature the reaction produces ethylene, while at lower ...

Euan Nisbet is an honorary fellow of Darwin College at the University of Cambridge. He is a member of the science panel of the UN International Methane Emissions Observatory. The biggest challenge to ...

Routine gas flaring, the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, results from market and economic constraints and a lack of appropriate regulation and political will. GGFR estimates gas ...

Researchers have achieved 41.8 kW of gas turbine power generation using ammonia as fuel in commissioned research under the Energy Carrier project of the Cross-Ministerial Strategic Innovation ...

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 ...
