Research Reveals Main Cause for Methane Hydrate Dissociation off Spitsbergen

For years, methane emissions from the seabed have been observed in the Arctic Ocean off Spitsbergen. The assumption that the warming of seawater by climate change is responsible for the release of methane, has not been confirmed.

Sea Water and Scrap Metal Combined to Help Lower Global Warming

Researchers at the University of York have used sea water taken from Whitby in North Yorkshire, and scrap metal to create a technology that could help capture over 850 million tons of undesirable carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

Researchers Solve Ocean Methane Puzzle

Agricultural and industrial activities generate large quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas that adds to global warming. A number of bacteria also create methane as a byproduct of their metabolism. Some of this naturally emitted methane originates from the ocean, an occurrence that has long mystified scientists as there are no known methane-producing organisms existing near the ocean’s surface.

New 'Supercatalyst' Developed to Recycle Methane and Carbon Dioxide

A new and cost-effective catalyst has been developed by the University of Surrey to recycle two main causes of climate change - methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
