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 ...

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 ...

Titan, Saturn's largest moon and the second-largest in the solar system, is a world unlike any other. With a dense atmosphere, an active surface, and lakes filled with liquid methane and ethane, Titan ...

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.

Mukesh Ambani bet on North American ethane more than a decade ago. Now that bet may finally be ready to pay off as he ...

WASHINGTON— More than 400 groups, representing tens of millions of people, petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency today to control harmful methane and ethane emissions that are the largest ...

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.

Seepage happens when natural flammable gas underground—mostly methane, ethane, and propane—travels to the surface from pressurized reservoirs through fractures or holes in the rock.

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.
