Cornell researchers have discovered a way for ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA), one of the most abundant types of microorganisms on Earth, to produce nitrous oxide, a potent and long-lasting greenhouse gas.

At a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday, Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, acknowledged climate change is “real” and that greenhouse gasses are making the planet hotter—but stopped short of saying the agency must regulate them.

In a significant research effort detailed in Engineering, scientists have made a comprehensive analysis of diverse sensing materials and mechanisms for greenhouse gas detection. Their findings not only reveal the top-performing materials like Pd-SnO₂ for CH₄,

A widely shared Facebook post combines misleading figures and calculations to suggest the UK’s contribution to climate change through carbon dioxide (CO2) and “cow farts” is negligible.

UC Riverside engineering associate professor Fudong Liu will oversee a multidisciplinary team spanning academia and industry that has been awarded a $6 million federal grant to develop advanced catalytic technology to reduce Earth-warming methane pollution in the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The overall demand for more entertainment and video communication services has highlighted the need for more sustainable solutions across the industry. Accordin

President-elect Trump is gearing up to support the oil and gas industry by directing agencies to unwind climate rules

In January, Ecology released the state’s latest emissions inventory through 2021. The report showed that overall greenhouse gas emissions dipped 13.8% in 2020 during the pandemic but rose 8.8% in 2021, largely driven by the transportation sector. The state is required by law to release data through 2023, according to the Washington Policy Center.

Lionel Oisel, InterDigital’s head of video labs, said: “Everyone is aware of the contributions the airline industry makes to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 2% of global greenhouse emissions per year.

Sasol is falling back on coal after encountering obstacles in its plan to pivot to natural gas and green hydrogen in its path to net zero by 2050.

Innovative Solutions for Emissions Management Reducing emissions in the upstream oil and gas sector requires more than compliance - it demands innovation. From advanced monitoring technologies to cutting-edge carbon capture systems, the industry leverages modern solutions to address pollutants while staying competitive.

Natural gas trucks’ greenhouse gas benefits are marginal when accounting for methane leakage—and could lock out better zero-emission alternatives.
