With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a valuable mix of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). A chemical ...

Microwave-assisted catalytic reactions are considered energy-efficient and have attracted attention in various chemical processes. This is due to the selective and rapid heating of target materials or ...

By Elizabeth Devitt They’ve been called “bubble chasers,” and “seep seekers,” though they sometimes call themselves “flare hunters.” They’re a small group of scientific specialists searching the world ...

In a two-step process, a new catalyst can convert methane into polymers at ordinary temperature and pressure. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes ...

As countries around the world are accelerating their efforts to combat the climate crisis, a less talked about, but more sinister greenhouse gas is entering the spotlight: methane (CH4). Methane is ...

Emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas methane remain "far too high" according to a report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency (IEA), even though technology exists to control many ...

Scientists discovered that deep-sea vents are tapping hydrogen from buried sediments, reshaping ideas about where ocean ...

East of Hazar, Turkmenistan, a port city on the Caspian Sea, 12 plumes of methane stream westward. Some of the plumes, detected by NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission, ...
