Considerable study has been done on methane oxidation to yield methanol, used in producing valuable substances like formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, and more. Yet, methane remains the most challenging ...

Researchers have developed an iron-based catalyst that tames the reactivity of methane, paving the way for natural gas to become a sustainable raw material for high-value chemicals, including ...

Earth has a cow problem. Cow agriculture is one of the largest emitters of climate-warming methane to the atmosphere. But adding a type of red algae known for its methane-inhibiting properties to cow ...

Natural gas—one of the planet's most abundant energy sources—is primarily composed of methane, ethane, and propane. While it is widely burned for energy, producing greenhouse gas emissions, scientists ...
