Whether they're for dairy or beef, cows produce a lot of methane gas. A single cow produces up to 264 pounds of methane per day, contributing to a total of 231 billion pounds of methane emitted ...

Scientists have discovered that some dairy cows produce significantly less methane than others. While farming is vital for providing food and dairy to the world, it contributes a fair amount of ...

Roughly two-thirds of all emissions of atmospheric methane—a highly potent greenhouse gas that is warming planet Earth—come from microbes that live in oxygen-free environments like wetlands, rice ...

This year is shaping up to be the hottest on record. And while carbon dioxide dominates the climate conversation, another powerful pollutant, methane, requires our urgent attention. In fact, reducing ...

When it comes to healthy eating, fruits and vegetables reign supreme. But along with all their vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients can come something else: an unhealthy dose of dangerous ...

Let’s face it — fruits and vegetables are dirty. Between harvesting, handling, and packaging, they build up a lot of crud and critters (yikes!) In fact, the Environmental Working Group releases an ...

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published in Nature. "Methane ...

The word farm was once equated with images of sun-kissed green fields in rural areas. That’s quickly changing. Not only are farms moving closer to urban areas, but they’re also getting creative in how ...

Pittsburgh International Airport has announced plans to build a facility on its property to produce hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). But the $1.5 billion project will only proceed if the ...

An electron microscope image of single-celled methanogens, members of the archaea branch of the tree of life. They are ubiquitous in oxygen-free environments, turning simple foods into methane, a ...

The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated. Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious ...
