Nov 27 (Reuters) - Delegates at this year's U.N. COP28 climate summit are anxious to boost the world's climate change agenda with concrete plans for clamping down on the second-most prominent greenhouse gas – methane. While more than 150 countries have promised since 2021 to…
Methods of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere won’t work with methane [ Lire plus… ] Ndlr : Les émissions de dioxyde de carbone provenant de la combustion de combustibles fossiles sont le principal responsable du changement climatique, et les scientifiques affirment qu'elles doivent être…
La réduction des émissions de méthane, 2e gaz à effet de serre après le CO2, fait partie des objectifs fixés par la COP26. Une équipe de chercheurs du MIT a développé une méthode de conversion du méthane en CO2 à base de zéolite, ce qui…
Methanotrophic bacteria consume 30 million metric tons of methane per year and have captivated researchers for their natural ability to convert the potent greenhouse gas into usable fuel. Yet we know very little about how the complex reaction occurs, limiting our ability to use the…
Reducing human-caused methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective strategies to rapidly reduce the rate of warming and contribute significantly to global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Available targeted methane measures, together with additional measures that contribute to priority development goals, can…

The National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) has created a backpack to mitigate climate change by capturing methane emissions from cows. The backpack would be worn on the cow and captures methane by inserting a tube into the cow’s rumen, or a digestive organ where…
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is released in the atmosphere by various means, including cow flatulence. Scientists say that they have discovered a new material able to capture and concentrate methane. So far, the ability to capture methane has been very difficult because…
Research on climate change has identified a wide array of sources that emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). Among the six gases that have generally been the primary focus of concern, methane is the second-most abundant, accounting for approximately 8% of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2008.…
Like the Roman god Janus, methane presents Earth’s atmosphere with two situational faces. As the main component of natural gas, methane when burned as a fuel produces less carbon dioxide than the burning of oil or coal, which makes it a plus for global climate…
Converting methane into a less potent greenhouse gas would need to be done along with overall emissions reductions [Lire plus]
The window for climate action is closing before our very eyes, and as emissions continue to rise, researchers at Stanford are asking us to consider the lesser of two evils. In a new commentary, the authors propose a wild idea that would intentionally release more…
Emerging tech to suck CO2 from the air is getting lots of buzz and cash, but a new paper in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Sustainability proposes a method for atmospheric capture of methane to alleviate warming and buy more time to tackle the bigger CO2…
Le contrôle du réchauffement climatique passe par la diminution des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de la planète. Pour le PDG de Veolia, la priorité devrait être de capturer et valoriser le méthane. [Lire plus]
