Atmospheric scientists show proposed 'geoengineering' effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits.

House Bill 1630 mandates that dairy farms and feedlots report their annual methane emissions -- largely coming from cow burps and farts -- to the state.

Shallow coastal waters are hotspots for methane emissions, releasing significant amounts of this potent greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. New research highlights how tides,

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) when trapping heat in the atmosphere and is responsible for nearly half of the 1.1-degree Celsius increase in global temperatures. The gas is short-lived and gets broken down into CO2 and water vapor after a decade.

Steve Milloy, a former Trump administration EPA official, said that Congress needs to remake the law in order for the new methane emissions rule to be reversed.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, joined by a 22-state coalition, filed a lawsuit Thursday against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to block the implementation of a methane emissions tax created under the Inflation Reduction Act.

The pause is not related to owners’ ongoing attempts to expand the dump, or to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s effort to clamp down on landfill greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, DEQ cites previous landfill growth in the agency's air pollution permit application synopsis.

In December 2024, before the Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act was reintroduced, Sen. Britt had joined other Congressional Republicans in introducing a bicameral Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval to block the EPA’s implementation of the methane tax.

Working in what Dr. Johnson calls a “very, very active research space” – with a suite of advanced diagnostics, analytic tools and experimental capabilities unparalleled in Canada – the EERL is playing a key role in helping Canada and the world seize the moment for tackling methane emissions.

Department of Energy (DOE) released updated versions of the 45VH2-GREET lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions model
