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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
California launched a satellite program that spots methane leaks from space and alerts operators to fix them immediately. Since launching in 2025, the program has already stopped 20+ major methane plumes across the state.
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.
Australian scientists just cracked a 20-year puzzle that's been stumping engineers worldwide: how to eliminate methane pollution from coal mines without burning extra fuel. The breakthrough could slash 15% of Australia's total methane emissions by 2030.
New satellite data shows methane-capturing digesters are cleaning up dairy farms across California. When they work right, these systems slash emissions by up to 80%, but researchers found rare leaks can wipe out months of progress in hours.
A massive underwater volcano eruption in 2022 triggered an unexpected atmospheric reaction that broke down methane, one of the most powerful greenhouse gases warming our planet. Scientists say this accidental discovery could help develop new tools to slow climate change.
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 discovered that forest soils in Germany are actually getting better at removing methane from the atmosphere as the climate changes. This unexpected finding offers hope that nature might help fight climate change in surprising ways.
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.
Alberta just proved climate action can boost the economy, not hurt it. The Canadian province crushed its methane reduction goal ahead of schedule while creating nearly 3,000 jobs and sparking a global cleantech boom.
A Washington state grant program is helping 13 landfills slash methane emissions with technology that adjusts itself every few hours instead of once a month. Real results are already showing up in year one.
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 underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have accidentally revealed a powerful new climate solution. Scientists discovered the 2022 eruption triggered a chemical reaction that destroyed methane, one of Earth's most potent greenhouse gases.
The atmosphere temporarily lost its cleaning power after 2020, letting methane build up faster than ever recorded. Scientists now understand why, and that knowledge could help us tackle climate change smarter.
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 are using methane-eating microbes to transform one of the worst climate pollutants into useful products like biodegradable plastic and animal feed. These tiny bacteria already exist in nature and could help slow global warming while creating sustainable materials.
