Harvard researchers found that plugging methane leaks in oil and gas pipelines costs a fraction of other climate solutions and keeps more sellable gas in the system. Companies can cut emissions in half while actually making money on recovered product.
A new carbon finance platform just secured $53 million to bring biodigesters to 90,000 small farms worldwide, turning animal waste into clean energy while cutting methane emissions. The best part? Farmers get paid upfront for their climate impact instead of waiting years for carbon credit payouts.
Kenyan lawmakers are drafting the country's first legislation specifically targeting methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over 20 years. Scientists say improving livestock feed could boost milk production by 30% while cutting emissions by 15%.
Researchers discovered the "hydrogenobody," a tiny structure in cow gut microbes that drives methane production. The breakthrough could help slash greenhouse gas emissions from one of agriculture's biggest climate contributors.
A powerful new satellite will monitor methane leaks across five times more area than current technology, helping pinpoint major pollution sources. The breakthrough could transform how we find and fix greenhouse gas leaks around the world.
A Canadian company eliminating methane emissions just opened its U.S. headquarters in Oklahoma City, bringing clean energy innovation to America's energy capital. Kathairos Solutions has already prevented nearly 1 million metric tons of emissions across 3,000 sites.
South Korean researchers created a natural feed additive from garlic, oregano, and monolaurin that reduces methane emissions from cattle by over 14 percent. If commercialized, it could eliminate 520,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually while keeping cows healthy.
Scientists just revealed that sewer systems worldwide release up to 2 million tons of methane yearly, a greenhouse gas source previously thought to be zero. A 20-year study has created the first tool to measure and reduce these hidden emissions.
A new feed additive slashed methane emissions from cattle in half while making them grow more efficiently. The breakthrough could transform beef production in the world's largest cattle market.
A groundbreaking study in Brazil shows a new feed additive can slash methane emissions from cattle in half while actually helping cows convert food more efficiently. The results could transform beef production in the country with the world's largest commercial cattle herd.
A breakthrough feeding trial in Brazil slashed cattle methane emissions in half while making cows grow more efficiently. The results could transform beef production in the world's largest cattle market.
Scientists studying cow methane emissions can't compare their results because everyone uses different measurement tools. C-Lock Inc. is creating the first universal framework to make livestock climate research actually work together.
New satellites are helping Egypt's oil and gas sector spot methane leaks from space, turning what once took weeks of ground inspections into near real-time detection. The technology is already identifying emission hotspots across the country's vast energy operations, helping companies fix leaks faster while protecting the climate.
New satellite tracking shows cow manure digesters are slashing methane emissions across 98 California dairies. The climate win comes with a catch: when these systems leak, they release methane at ten times the rate of traditional storage.
Scientists have identified one of the fastest ways to slow climate change and save lives: cutting methane emissions from oil and gas operations. The best part? Most of it can be done with technology we already have.
One of the world's largest energy companies just proved that massive emissions cuts are possible even while growing production. TotalEnergies slashed its methane emissions by nearly two-thirds since 2020.
Malaysia's palm oil industry is transforming its biggest pollution problem into renewable energy. Mills are converting toxic methane emissions into clean-burning biomethane that can power factories and vehicles.
Canada's federal government and Alberta have agreed on an ambitious plan to slash methane emissions from oil and gas by 75% by 2035. The deal gives Alberta control over its own regulations while meeting national climate goals.
Twenty Latin American and Caribbean nations just launched an ambitious program to close over 10,000 open dumps and dramatically cut methane emissions from waste by 2040. The regional partnership tackles a crisis where nearly half of all trash goes unmanaged, turning mountains of organic waste into climate threats.
China's coal mines are releasing less methane per ton of coal than ever before, even as production rises. Smart mining shifts and better gas capture technology are turning a climate problem into progress.
