1807 results for "methane reduction"
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
French food giant Danone is on track to slash methane emissions five years ahead of schedule, setting a new standard for climate action in the dairy industry. While most major food companies still aren't tracking or cutting this potent greenhouse gas, a few pioneers are proving it's possible.
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.
Scientists have discovered ways to grow rice in Sub-Saharan Africa that dramatically reduce methane emissions while still feeding growing populations. By combining specially bred rice varieties with smarter water management, farmers can fight climate change from their fields.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Senegal is taking bold action against climate change with a new national plan targeting methane and short-lived climate pollutants. The West African nation is strengthening its environmental ministry's capacity to identify pollution sources and develop solutions through 2027.
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.
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 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.
