Scientists have raised a new warning, to keep temperatures from rising the world needs to cut Methane right now. Clamping down on Carbon Dioxide will not be enough

Scientists call for sharp cut in Methane to avoid climate crisis

Methane-consuming bacteria can generate power. Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases?. It should be possible using bacteria, says a study. Candidatus Methanoperedens use methane to grow. They naturally occur in freshwater.

Turkmenistan's methane emissions are becoming a significant concern for the rest of the planet. Methane, which is colourless and odourless, is the most abundant component of natural gas and may leak in massive quantities from energy plants whose management does not care to stop it.

Turkmenistan: One of the world’s worst emitters of planet-warming methane

Satellites spotted a large plume of methane leaking from one of Pakistan’s largest cities last month. According to an estimate from geoanalytics firm Kayrros SAS, the cloud was seen over Lahore on August 6 and had an emissions rate of about 126 metric tons of methane an hour.

The United States and European Union on Friday made a joint pledge to cut global methane emissions by almost a third in the next decade. The climate experts have hailed this as one of the most significant steps yet towards fulfilling the Paris climate agreement.

US and EU pledge 30 per cent cut in methane emissions

Scientists are urging the world to immediately cut methane emissions to prevent uncontrollable global warming. Animal farming is one of the biggest sources of methane emissions. Does this mean it's time to clear meat off our plates?

Gravitas: Methane: A bigger threat than CO2?

Methane in the Martian atmosphere and organic chemicals in its soil are the latest tantalising findings of NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover as it hunts for clues about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Methane leaks from planned coal mines around the world could have a bigger climate impact than carbon emissions from U.S. coal plants, a research group said on Thursday, detailing what it said was an overlooked source of planet-warming emissions.

Methane from upcoming coal mines could impact climate more than US coal plants, report says

Methane, a planet-warming gas responsible for a major portion of Earth’s global warming has taken up a lot more space than expected over the last decade. An international study from July 15 has ascertained that the emissions of this poisonous gas have risen by at least nine per cent in the last ten years.

Emissions of planet-warming methane have risen by 9% in the last decade

The US Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday plans to roll back regulations that limit leaks of potent greenhouse gas methane from pipelines and wells, even as some industry players opposed the move.
