The researchers also discovered that the low-methane GMO rice released much more ethanol, an alcohol. When they applied ethanol to soils where rice plants were growing, that alone reduced methane ...

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 ...

It is becoming increasingly difficult to produce sufficient drinking water, and this process also releases large amounts of the harmful greenhouse gas methane. For his Ph.D. thesis, microbiologist ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Methane concentrations are rising rapidly, reaching 1,931 ppb in January 2024—over 2.5 times pre-industrial levels—and have accelerated in recent years.

As outlined by the EPA, excess methane produced in 2024 could result in a fee of $900 per ton, with fees rising to $1,200 per ton in 2025 and $1,500 per ton by 2026.

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that ...

A prototype vaccine from ArkeaBio, a US start-up, cut methane emissions by 13 per cent in a first trial involving 10 cows, offering a potential way to reduce the huge climate impact of cattle farming ...
