Saturn’s most metal moon just got more intriguing. On Titan, clouds of methane unleash a cold, oily rain—very different from the water-based downpours we see on Earth. For the first time, scientists ...

Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas whose concentration in the atmosphere has risen sharply in recent decades. Wetlands ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. Flames of burning methane near a well in the Bakken Oil ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helping turn satellite observations into methane mitigation action in the oil and gas sector.

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 ...

Thousands of Americans are living in the direct path of invisible toxic gas clouds from 'super-emitter' methane leaks across the country. Researchers at the California-based non-profit science ...

Because of its potent greenhouse properties, methane gas is a significant contributor to climate change. It also feeds microbes known as methanotrophs that convert the gas into carbon dioxide and ...

Chemical engineers designed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane in the atmosphere of TOI-199 b, a Saturn-mass gas giant orbiting its star every 100 days with an equilibrium temperature of roughly 350 K. That ...
