When natural gas from deep underground reservoirs escapes from cracks in the rock, it can sometimes burn autonomously for ...

Pure methane reacts—with very low yield—to give ethane, propane and hydrogen. The addition of oxygen increases the conversion, resulting mainly in CO 2 as well as CO, ethylene, and water.

The pyrolysis of ethane, propane, and the higher paraffins to form aromatic hydrocarbons is a well-established fact, while methane has not been found to show similar tendencies to any appreciable ...

Gamma radiation transforms methane into glycine and various other complex molecules. A research team reports in the journal Angewandte Chemie that gamma radiation can transform methane into a diverse ...

Chris Wright is Trump's pick to run the Energy Department. He is an oil and gas executive who must be more in tune with the ...

The AP-XPS and STM measurements collectively showed that the catalyst system activates methane at room temperature, breaking its carbon-hydrogen bonds and converting it to ethane, which is used for a ...

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, reports a research team. This type of ...

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system ...
