If you’re wondering how to combat the carbon dioxide problem, hydrogen can help. Hydrogen can be separated from methane and converted into a clean energy source, as well as a solid form of carbon called carbon black. Companies such as Monolith materials have already built a pilot plant and are now building a commercial one […]

Hydrogen Greenhouse Gas (HHG) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Its effect on the Earth’s climate is much higher than previously thought. A study funded by the UK government found that the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of hydrogen is about double the previous estimate. This study has important implications for all countries around the world. Energy […]
Hydrogen is a renewable resource that can be used to reduce carbon emissions in the long term. But it can also contribute to climate change if it leaks, making it worse in the coming decades. This is why the hydrogen-based economy needs to be designed so that leakage is kept to a minimum. Some hydrogen […]
Hydrogen is not climate friendly at present, but it can be made green and is a viable alternative to fossil fuels. The technology to create green hydrogen is in its early stages, but massive investments are underway to bring the technology to commercial scale. When developed and deployed correctly, hydrogen technology can deliver real climate […]
While there are many sources of methane, it is the oil and gas industry that is responsible for the largest proportion of these emissions. The study focused on ultra-emitters, those that release at least 25 metric tons per hour and account for up to 12% of oil and gas industry emissions. The researchers found that […]
Food waste is a big problem for the environment. According to a report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the amount of food lost and thrown out each year is equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants. In addition, food waste contributes to significant methane emissions, especially as it rots […]
If you’re concerned about human methane emissions, you’re not alone. This article will provide information about the sources, impacts, and the progress being made to reduce emissions. It will also show why the issue is so important. After all, the emission of this greenhouse gas equals the equivalent of 788 million cars! Sources Humans are […]
EPA estimates of methane emissions from oil and natural gas facilities are based on aircraft observations and facility-scale measurements. The estimated amount is roughly equivalent to 13+-2 Tg/y, or 2.3% of gross U.S. gas production. However, these estimates may not reflect actual emissions because they do not account for abnormal operating conditions. In addition, methane […]
The release of methane gases from landfills and hydro dams has contributed to global warming and the growth of wildfires. In addition, climate change is accelerating methane releases from Arctic soils and seas. These gases are also released into the atmosphere by waste from agriculture and wetlands. While these areas are carbon sinks, they are […]
There are several different ways to reduce methane production. These include using synthetic chemicals, rethinking agricultural cultivation, using feed additives, and capturing landfill gas. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, synthetic chemicals have some benefits while others are not as effective. Synthetic chemicals reduce methane production The application of […]
