Hydrogen has become the centerpiece of the global search for clean energy, yet most of the hydrogen produced today still carries a heavy carbon footprint. A new study published in the Journal of Saudi ...

A systematic exploration of the phase diagram of methane resolves inconsistencies of earlier studies, with potential ramifications for our understanding of planetary interiors. Figure 1: Methane’s ...

When landfills and wastewater treatment plants create methane as a byproduct, much of it is simply burned and its value is ...

Deep underground, coal seams are never at rest. As mining operations push deeper into the Earth, the rock layers above press ...

Scientists found that a tiny atomic structure that forms on nickel oxide during methane conversion is more effective than the metallic nickel long believed to drive the reaction. The discovery allowed ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have built a 3D printed solid-state bioreactor that converts ...

Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the structural forms of solid methane. Led by Mengnan Wang at the University of ...

Ocean sediments are a massive storehouse for the potent greenhouse gas methane. Trapped in ocean sediments near continents lie ancient reservoirs of methane called methane hydrates. These ice-like ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists at the University of Manchester, has developed a fast and economical method of converting methane, or natural gas, into liquid methanol at ...
