Human activity may be the main cause of climate change, but all these cows milling and mooing about don’t help, either. Everyone knows that cows produce methane-laden flatulence, but there’s …read more Continue reading Toilet-Training Cows is No Bull
The hydrogen industry is gearing up to play an important role in the global transition to clean energy – particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and steel production. As it grows, you’re going to start hearing more about colors. Black hydro… Continue reading Report slams “blue hydrogen” as worse for the climate than gas or coal
The energy to power a motorcycle has to come from somewhere, be it a power station, a solar panel, a gas station, or a hydrogen plant. There have been many …read more Continue reading Swamp Gas Will Get You Home
Scientists have found a way to convert methane into methanol at room temperature. Using a common crystal as a catalyst, the technique could eventually reduce methane escaping into the atmosphere by turning it into a useful liquid fuel instead.Continue … Continue reading Crystal catalyst converts methane into methanol at room temperature
This motorcycle runs on freshly harvested bog methane that rests in a giant condom attached to the back of the bike. It takes eight hours of labor to go 12 miles. Continue reading Man Harvests Methane for 8 Hours to Fuel Bike That Runs on Swamp Gas
Something is making methane on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. A new study has found that methane levels detected from the icy moon are far higher than can be explained by known geochemical processes – but they are consistent with microbes.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Methane in plumes from Saturn’s moon could be signs of microbial life
Bad news, Martian helicopter fans: Ingenuity, the autonomous helicopter that Perseverance birthed onto the Martian surface a few days ago, will not be taking the first powered, controlled flight on …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: April 11, 2021
Cattle are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to their methane-loaded burps. A detailed new study has found more evidence that feeding cows a small seaweed supplement can greatly reduce their methane emissions, without affecting the… Continue reading Seaweed supplements cut cattle methane emissions by up to 82%
Methanol has wide-ranging potential as a cleaner fuel for powering advanced automobiles or producing plastic materials or other chemicals, and recently we’re seeing how the production side of things could prove a boon for the environment, too. Scientis… Continue reading New catalyst converts methane into methanol at room temperature
Leaky gas wells are not only a waste of natural resources, but a significant player when it comes to climate change via the release of methane into the atmosphere. Engineers at Penn State University have developed a new type of flexible cement they say… Continue reading Flexible cement is made to fill the fine gaps around leaky gas wells
