Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a significantly higher heat-trapping capacity than carbon dioxide, although it has a shorter atmospheric lifespan. Emissions originate from various sources ...

Methane is a menace. Climate scientists say the invisible gas warms the Earth's atmosphere 84 times faster than carbon dioxide. It's released into the atmosphere by organic material, such as food ...

Methane is the most prevalent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide that tends to leak into the atmosphere undetected from drill sites, gas pipelines and other oil and gas. The fee started at $900 ...

Low-emitting oil and natural gas facilities make up an outsize chunk of the sector’s methane footprint in the United States despite their “poorly understood” contribution to overall ...

Much of the methane gas from the Nord Stream leak rose directly to the sea surface and into the atmosphere. But some methane remained below the surface and was dispersed by ocean currents.

Atmospheric scientists show proposed 'geoengineering' effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits.

The rule fines certain oil and gas facilities that exceed federal limits for methane emissions. A natural gas flare in Garden City. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the federal ...
