Catching cow burps in real time: Methane sensor matches industry monitor in early field test
Methane is a short-lived but powerful greenhouse gas; cutting methane emissions can slow near-term warming and improve air quality by reducing harmful ground-level ozone. As ruminants digest feed, they release methane—through burps. In fact, emissions from cattle are the largest source of human-caused methane emissions (roughly 25% of the total)—so reducing emissions from cattle is an important part of tackling climate change.

Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050
The Arctic is warming at an accelerating pace. As permafrost thaws across vast areas and wildfires become more frequent, large amounts of methane (CH4) are being released. Together, these changes are reshaping the region's greenhouse gas emissions and further intensifying climate change.

Easily overlooked small wetlands are a big source of global methane
Waterlogged land areas such as marshes, bogs and fens are the world's largest natural source of methane. Even the smallest of wetlands emit this powerful greenhouse gas. In a study from The University of Texas at Austin, researchers have identified tens of millions of easily overlooked small wetlands across the globe and found that they have a substantial collective impact, accounting for 24% of the world's total non-forested wetland emissions of methane. This research is published in Nature Cl…

EU proposes three-year delay to methane rule penalties
The European Commission has proposed delaying penalties for companies that fail to comply with the EU’s methane emissions rules, following pressure from major energy exporters and industry groups that warned the measures could disrupt supplies and raise costs.
