Observations of TOI-199b with the James Webb Space Telescope identified methane in the atmosphere of a cooler gas giant, supporting long-standing models.

US states are exploring whether inactive and orphaned oil and gas wells can be repurposed for geothermal energy, potentially turning long-term liabilities into clean power assets.

Researchers studying seafloor pockmarks in northwestern Greenland say glacial meltwater may have flushed methane hydrates from sediment after the last glacial maximum, raising new concerns about future Arctic emissions.

Researchers studying Melville Bay say glacial meltwater likely destabilized methane hydrates after the last glacial maximum, creating large seafloor pockmarks and hinting at a climate feedback risk that could return as冰s

A reported zero-gap reactor from Pennsylvania State University scales carbon dioxide conversion by 10 times while reaching 95% efficiency in producing methane, a combination that could matter if it holds up beyond thelab

A newly listed Science paper points to rumen ciliates as a factor in methane emissions from ruminants, putting a microbial mechanism at the center of an important emissions question.

A new analysis of James Webb Space Telescope observations indicates that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains abundant methane, offering a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star.

A McGill-led study reports that non-producing oil and gas wells may emit microbial methane at rates about 1,000 times higher than previous estimates.

A new look at food disposal argues that sending organics to landfills is worsening methane emissions and missing a chance to recover energy and nutrients elsewhere.
