Medicine & TechnologySeveral research projects are attempting to use existing conditions on Mars to fuel future missions. Now, a team of researchers is experimenting on turning greenhouse gases to create rocket fuel on the Red Planet.
Methane accounts for 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere that breaks down to carbon dioxide. But Elon Musk said to not worry too much about it because it breaks down quickly.
Canada and more than 20 more countries are pledging tough actions to reduce methane actions by an average of 30% by 2030 from its 2020 levels ahead of the COP26 in Glasgow.
The summer 2020 heat wave in Siberia melted the permafrost that increased methane gas emissions from limestone, which may lead to the formation of methane bombs in the atmosphere.
An international collaboration found the fossils of methane-cycling microbes from 3.42 billion years ago, providing new insights on the potential habitability, or ability to sustain life, of early Earth.
Scientists have found methane from a sample taken from Enceladus, one of the many moons of Saturn, and as the gas is formed, it raises a question: could there be life on the giant satellite?
Recent reports of Mars methane detections have fascinated both scientists and non-scientists alike. On Earth, a substantial amount of methane is generated by bacteria that help most livestock digest plants.
Microbes in the seafloor of the Guaymas Basin have adapted to the high temperatures that bake and burn large areas of seafloor sediments and turn organic matter into methane and energy-rich compounds.
Researchers found that oceanic microbes dwelling in carbonate chimney rocks consume methane 50 times faster than those that live in sediment, effectively regulating the Earth's temperature.
In a deep part of the Black Sea, situated between Europe and Asia, the waters still respond to a climate change pattern prompted by the last Ice Age - a period which officially ended about 12,000 years ago.
NASA has calculated the distinct evidence that shows how humans are causing climate change. Specifically, it has calculated the specific driving forces of recent climate change through direct satellite observations.
Research shows that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has underestimated methane emissions for oil and natural gas production by 90% and 50% respectively.
Researchers discover red seaweed as a natural solution to methane by-products from cows and livestock. Significant reduction of methane emissions equals removing 100 million cars from the streets.
