Nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) exhibits promising prospect in that it affords value-added hydrocarbons and hydrogen with high atom economy. However, the challenge remains in methane's direct, ...

Converting methane, the primary component of natural gas, into higher alkanes and hydrogen, could be highly advantageous.

Scientists at the Central South University in China have developed a novel catalyst system that could revolutionize clean hydrogen production by making it possible to generate hydrogen from methane at ...

Scientists have engineered a highly selective catalyst that can convert methane, a major component of natural gas, into methanol, an easily transportable liquid fuel, in a single, one-step reaction.

Countries must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases substantially to keep global temperature targets in reach and limit risks of destabilizing the world’s climate. Most attention has focused on carbon ...

New research has found methane emissions from slurry stores on dairy farms may be up to five times greater than official statistics suggest -- and highlights the huge potential for turning them into a ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Heading off such tipping points must be a key goal of climate policy. Reducing methane emissions alone can limit .3 ...

Scot Miller is an assistant professor in Johns Hopkins University's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering whose research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. His ...
