In a spectacular new study, researchers have used light and chlorine to eradicate low-concentration methane from air. The result gets us closer to being able to remove greenhouse gases from livestock ...

The study by Maarten van Herpen et al., entitled “Photocatalytic Chlorine Atom Production on Mineral Dust-Sea Spray Aerosols over North Atlantic,” was funded in part by the NGO Spark Climate Solutions ...

Methane is the second biggest greenhouse gas contributor to climate change. It’s also 84 times more potent than culprit number one, carbon dioxide. Unsurprisingly, 60% of global emissions result from ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine this week looked at the possibilities of removing methane emissions directly from the air. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is ...

The Kobe University start-up Photo-on-Demand Chemical Co. Ltd. demonstrated that it can produce methane from sewage to refine it into pharmaceutical raw materials and other useful chemicals. For this, ...

Chlorine chemistry plays a key role in the manufacturing of thousands of products we depend upon to remain healthy, from disinfecting our public transportation systems and hospitals to keeping our ...

A study explores effects of Saharan dust clouds on atmospheric methane. Its findings have potentially far-reaching implications for understanding the global methane budget and reasons behind the ...
