Methane isn’t just an environmental buzzword—it is energy lost. Every puff of gas from a cow’s rumen represents feed energy that could have gone toward growth, milk or a calf. That simple truth is ...

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that produce the ...

It's been known for nearly a century that swarms of single-celled organisms thrive by consuming chemicals from their environments and expelling methane gas as a byproduct. In 2024, researchers in the ...

Illinois is a top agricultural state, generating billions of dollars annually, but even where stalks of corn and acres of soybean vastly outnumber its 400,000 head of cattle, cows raised for beef and ...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can pack more than 25 times the global warming punch of carbon dioxide, and atmospheric methane emissions have been growing significantly since 2007. So it’s ...

Heat-trapping methane may be best known for the dangers it poses to humans and Earth’s atmosphere, but in the dark depths of the ocean, the greenhouse gas is a nourishing meal for some of the world’s ...

Observational data suggest models are likely underestimating the amount of methane lost through atmospheric chemistry ...

Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop. Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those ...

Scientists have detected methane gas on the dwarf planet Makemake, indicating that the distant body is a dynamic icy world. The discovery was made by a team led by the Southwest Research Institute ...
