Recent advances could make it feasible to deploy networks of methane sensors to detect this greenhouse gas at large facilities WASHINGTON -- Researchers have developed a new sensor that could allow ...

For over four decades, gas-leak-detection sensor tech has remained relatively unchanged and proven costly and often unreliable. Advances have changed the landscape, though, with sensors now including ...

Methane from agricultural and industrial sources represents a significant issue in climate change, since although not as abundant as carbon dioxide the hydrocarbon is known to be a more potent ...

You’ve seen the images: floating islands of plastic in the ocean, marine life entangled in nets and lines. Whether in the ocean or on land, plastic pollutants—and their effects—are often visible. But ...

A satellite monitoring technique that uses the reflection of the sun makes it possible to detect methane leaks from offshore oil rigs from space. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas about 80 times more ...

The University of California Berkeley (Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory) commissioned ABB, funded by the California Energy Commission, to conduct measurements over an abandoned gas well with HoverGuard ™ ...
