The oil and gas industry is a major source of methane emissions. Cutting methane is one of the best ways to slow the rate of global warming in the future. Ben Cahill, senior fellow in the energy security and climate change program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joined Mola Lenghi and Michelle Miller to talk discuss the possibilities of the oil and gas industry going green.

Wetland ecosystems are the most important and prolific natural methane (CH4) sources. CH4 is constantly flowing in and out of these regions (flux), and that flow periodically fluctuates. Methanogens (methane producers) and methanotrophs (methane consumers) are microorganisms that influence CH4 fluxes in wetlands. However, the mutual, or symbiotic relationship between methanogens and methanotrophs remains unclear.…

By Patrick Serfass and Adam Comora Special to The Digest A recent study released by the journal Science supported by research conducted by Carbon Mapper and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory revealed that methane emissions from landfills are greater than previously thought – but also that their abatement represents a significant opportunity in our fight

The startup Loci Controls, begun at MIT, uses solar-powered devices to improve methane capture at gas-collection wells in landfills.

Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases should be achievable using bacteria. In a new publication, microbiologists from Radboud University have demonstrated that it is possible to make methane-consuming bacteria generate power in the lab. The study will be published in Frontiers in Microbiology on April 12.

The Far North is thawing, unleashing clouds of planet-heating gas. Scientists rely on an arsenal of tech to sniff out just how nasty the problem is.

"This lake wasn't here 50 years ago."

The energy sector's overall emissions of methane are massively underreported, the IEA said Tuesday as it promoted cuts to the most potent greenhouse gas as a quick way to make a major impact on global warming.

Most of the released methane comes from oil and gas production.

A new EPA proposal would allow third parties to catch methane "super emitters" red handed

Methane is a much more devastating greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Finding those who leak it into the atmosphere is about to get easier.

At COP27, President Joe Biden announced new measures to cut methane emissions at home and internationally.

An international study involving reveals hundreds of major methane leaks linked to the global exploitation of oil and gas

We use the same tubes as long ago to move our waste when it can have methane harvested at small feeder locations throughout the sewer system. The methane can be fed into natural gas lines. Instead of aerobic digestion in the sewage lines anaerobic digestion can immediately Capitalize on an overgrowing resource.You might say that this would make sewer lines very dangerous yet that isn't really an issue because…
