Scientists have discovered that methane in the open ocean is produced by microbes under nutrient-poor conditions, solving a ...
People often muse over catching lightning in a bottle, and what an amazing feat it would be. But have you ever wondered what ...
Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid ...
Methane, both a vital energy resource and a potent greenhouse gas, is produced and modified by a number of geological and biological processes. Recent advances in isotopic characterisation have ...
Off Barbados, researchers from Bremen have investigated how bacteria inadvertently release methane in order to obtain phosphorus—with significant effects on atmospheric greenhouse gases. The potent ...
Washington State University researchers have piloted a process that transforms sewage sludge into renewable natural gas with 99% methane purity, significantly boosting energy recovery compared to ...
Enhancing with argon. To further enhance the process, the team diluted methane with argon, which is typically an inert noble ...
Researchers at Northwestern University in the US have successfully produced methanol from methane gas ...
Researchers have developed a chemical process using plasma that could create sustainable jet fuel from methane gas emitted from landfills, potentially creating a low-carbon aviation industry. In a ...
Professor Dayne Swearer found that bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without high heat and pressures.
The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, ...
