Researchers in Spain have discovered how to transform methane, the main component of natural gas, into complex medicines using iron and LED light. In a stunning first, they created a hormone therapy drug directly from natural gas.
A groundbreaking partnership is bringing technology to Brazil that transforms methane, a harmful greenhouse gas, into valuable graphene and clean hydrogen. The initiative positions South America as a regional hub for sustainable industrial materials.
Nigeria just signed a major agreement with the International Energy Agency to reduce methane emissions and bring clean cooking gas to 5 million homes by 2030. The partnership marks a turning point for Africa's largest economy as it tackles pollution while expanding energy access.
A Calgary cleantech startup has eliminated one million metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent by replacing methane with liquid nitrogen at oil and gas facilities. The simple solution now prevents more methane daily than many technologies eliminate in a year.
After methane gas was detected at a girls' school in Ogun State, Nigeria, officials swiftly relocated hundreds of students to safety while scientists investigate the natural phenomenon. The quick response shows how seriously the government takes student safety.
A new Swedish facility plans to turn pulp mill emissions into clean fuel that could replace fossil gas imports. The project combines forest industry waste with renewable energy to create gas that works in today's infrastructure.
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.
Forest soils in Germany are becoming better at removing methane from the atmosphere as the climate changes. A groundbreaking 24-year study reveals that warmer, drier conditions actually boost forests' ability to fight this powerful greenhouse gas.
An $88 million satellite collected a year of groundbreaking methane data before losing contact, revealing crucial information that will help hold the oil and gas industry accountable for their climate promises.
Gas Malaysia has launched Asia Pacific's first LOOP system that transforms methane gas into valuable graphene and hydrogen. This breakthrough technology turns greenhouse gas into advanced materials that could revolutionize industries from electronics to construction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Poland's largest coal producer is capturing dangerous methane gas from its mines and converting it into enough electricity to power a city of 50,000 people. The company plans to double its clean energy capacity while making mining safer.
New technology is capturing harmful methane gas from cow manure on dairy farms, turning a major pollution source into clean energy. California's $389 million investment is showing real results in the fight against climate change.
A massive 2022 volcanic eruption discovered a way to destroy its own methane pollution, and scientists say we might be able to copy it. The finding could help fight climate change by removing a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2.
Scientists discovered a way to convert methane into methanol using electricity and plasma, eliminating carbon emissions from a process that produces 110 million tons of fuel annually. The breakthrough could also capture leaking natural gas and turn it into usable energy.
