First-time reports from industry reveal massive methane emissions
2013-02-07 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: U.S. EPA's addition of oil, gas and coal methane emissions to its online greenhouse gas tracking tool revealed an 82.6-million-metric-ton increase in carbon dioxide equivalents over numbers from the previous year, when those figures were not available. EPA published data yesterday for 2011, adding 12 new sources from the reporting program since last year's 2010 figures. Although carbon dioxide is a much more abundant greenhouse gas than methane, the latter makes a far bigger impact on climate...

German Plant to Produce Methane Using Surplus Green Energy
2013-01-25 18:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Audi is building a plant in Germany that will use surplus power produced from renewable sources, such as wind energy generated when demand is low, to produce methane from water and carbon dioxide. The plant, which will use technology developed by Stuttgart-based SolarFuel, reportedly will produce enough methane to run 1,500 of the new natural-gas vehicles Audi is planning to start selling this year. To produce the methane, the company will utilize a combination of technologies: electrolysis, in which...

Tropical trees emit methane
2013-01-13 05:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Open University: In the rainforests of Borneo, the biggest emitters of methane gas are trees, according to new research led by The Open University. Previously it was thought that methane was only emitted from the soil surface of these tropical peat forests, but the researchers found significant quantities of methane being released from the stems of seven of the eight tree species studied. Their findings solve a mystery which has puzzled scientists ever since satellite images showed that there was more methane...
