Ethane, although it will act as a greenhouse gas, only stays in the atmosphere for a few months before breaking down into other compounds, rather than the 10 years that methane remains in the ...

Titan, Saturn's largest moon and the second-largest in the solar system, is a world unlike any other. With a dense atmosphere ...

Measuring ethane in the atmosphere shows that the amounts of methane going into the atmosphere from oil and gas wells and contributing to greenhouse warming is higher than suggested by the U.S ...

Methane and ethane emissions have remained relatively stable since 2005. Over the past decade, gas capture technologies have improved. However, increased shale gas drilling has offset reductions.

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, significantly contributing to global warming. It also affects the formation of other climate-relevant substances like ozone and water ...

Hundreds of environmental groups on Tuesday submitted a petition calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take action to curtail ethane and methane emissions responsible for smog.

Titan’s shoreline, however, is not as inviting as ours. Instead of water, the fluid that runs across Titan is an unholy mixture of methane, ethane, and other hydrocarbons.

What can the pH level of the subsurface ocean on Enceladus tell us about finding life there? This is what a recent study ...

Astronomers believe the mysterious “magic islands” on Saturn’s moon Titan are honeycomb-like frozen clumps of organic material that fall like snow on the moon.
