In his latest comment, Mike Redwood explores Scotland's stance on livestock emissions and the global debate over how methane should be measured.

a,c,e, Seasonal cycle of CH4 derived by singular spectrum analysis47 from the observations at BRW (a), MLO (c) and SPO (e) during the periods 1984–1988 and 2016–2020 and their peak-to-trough ...

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published May 7 in Nature.

Three Quaternary biogenic methane fields in the Sanhu depression of the Qaidam Basin in northwest China have yielded industrial gas flows from mudstones in recent years. These discoveries confirm the ...

Many see the investment in methane-reducing technologies as a crucial step in maintaining New Zealand’s competitive edge in sustainable food production. The Government aims to finalize its methane ...

It would provide evidence-based advice on what New Zealand’s biogenic methane emissions target should be to ensure no additional warming.Shadbolt, currently professor of farm and agribusiness ...

An intensive modelling study has found methane emissions from fossil fuels declined between 1990 and the 2000s and have been stable since, whereas microbes have been producing more methane of late ...

Biogenic methane production is the consequence of microbial action leading to complex biochemical reactions taking place during the decomposition of organic matter in anoxic environments. It has been ...

Both thermogenic and biogenic pathways can produce methane in coalbeds (Stolper et al., 2014). High temperatures and pressures (157–221°C) during coalification lead to the formation of thermogenic ...
