Methane oxidation in landfill cover soils is a naturally occurring process whereby methanotrophic bacteria convert methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into less harmful compounds. This process is ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to ...

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Equipment (MHI-MME) has begun demonstration testing of a methane oxidation catalyst system for LNG-fueled marine vessels which is being jointly developed ...

The optimal design of a novel zeolite catalyst enables tandem reaction that turns greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals, report scientists. By tuning the separation between different active ...

Methane eating microbes could help turn a powerful greenhouse gas into everyday products like animal feed, green plastics, and cleaner fuels, according to a new scientific review of fast moving ...

Chemical engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers. This research was published in Nature Catalysis, offering ...

An international team of scientists has reached a major milestone in sustainable energy research, developing a highly efficient method for converting methane into ethanol. Mechanism for photocatalytic ...

In the soils of Earth's wetlands, microbes are in a tug-of-war to produce and consume the powerful greenhouse gas methane. But if the Earth gets too hot, it could tip the scale in favor of the methane ...
