Sampling the air over offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico suggests the federal government's calculations of methane emissions are too low.

The thawing of Arctic permafrost will reinvigorate microbes. The question is, how much methane will those microbes produce?

A new method uses hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to more accurately detect methane emissions, say researchers.

Scientists have been underestimating how much methane in the atmosphere comes from fossil fuels, research finds. Here's the silver lining.

An artificial photosynthesis panel could use sunlight and water to convert carbon dioxide from smokestacks into usable "green methane."

A new way to combine sewage sludge and restaurant grease is the most efficient way to make methane yet, say researchers.

"The methane budget helps us place human methane emissions in context and provides a baseline against which to assess future changes."

Understanding more about how a microorganism produces methane and carbon dioxide could help scientists cut greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

A warmer tundra means more greenhouse gases from microbes, new research shows. That's bad news for fighting climate change.

While searching for the origins of methane on Saturn's largest moon, scientists discovered an unexpected ice corridor.
