Understanding the flammability limits and combustion characteristics of fuel–air mixtures is pivotal for both industrial safety and the advancement of energy technologies. These limits define the ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A new methane plant is proposed in Cheatham County, but cutting methane might actually slow warming. The map above shows the proposed area where the Tennessee Valley ...

Thawing permafrost has released so much methane into Esieh Lake near Fairbanks, Alaska that the air above it is flammable. Credit: Katey Walter Anthony/ University of Alaska Fairbanks ...

The image is surreal: a frozen lake, a scientist kneeling on the ice, and then a sheet of flame racing across the surface as trapped gas turns the air itself into fuel. What looks like a stunt is in ...

Lurking at the bottom of the ocean is a ticking time bomb of potential climate disaster. This would-be catastrophe is fire-ice, the oxymoronic compound frozen deep under the ocean floor. As the oceans ...

Japan's relationship with the energy sector is, at best, complicated. Having virtually no oil, coal or natural gas to fire its power plants, Japan was forced to import over 90% of its energy in 2014.

But now, a team of Duke University scientists, analyzing shallow groundwater sources near active gas wells, has found that levels of flammable methane (CH4) contamination increased when those water ...
