The lab says the imaging spectrometer aboard the satellite measures hundreds of wavelengths of light that are reflected by the Earth’s surface. Compounds in the atmosphere such as methane and carbon ...

In the oil and gas industry, the challenge is to address different types of emissions, such as direct methane from leaks and venting, as well as the carbon dioxide that’s emitted during combustion.

Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but there is far less of it in the atmosphere and it does not stay there as long. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon ...

The idea seems counterintuitive: after all, methane, the major component of natural gas, has been demonized by environmentalists for being a potent greenhouse gas. But a synthetic version could ...

Methane also escapes into the air when coal, oil and natural gas are extracted from the Earth. Some farmers collect methane gas from animal waste. The methane can be pumped into the mains gas ...
