Ship traffic in shallow areas, such as ports, can trigger large methane emissions by just moving through the water. 

An international research collaboration, including scientists from the Institute of Climate and Energy Systems.

Every year, Country Overshoot Day marks the day on which a country's annual biocapacity budget would be exhausted if everyone in the world lived as much as its population. 

Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) announced Royal Caribbean Group, a vacation industry leader with a global fleet, has become the latest member to join the cross-sectoral methane abatement initiative.

Hycamite TCD Technologies, a deep-tech company specializing in methane-splitting technology, has successfully concluded its Series A investment round, raising €44 million. 

South Korean shipyards build the majority of shipping’s LNG tanker fleet, but the country has also pledged to reduce methane emissions by 30% in 2030.

OIL recently joined the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), a global industry initiative launched at COP28, co-chaired by TotalEnergies' CEO.

Wärtsilä, in partnership with Chevron Shipping, is converting one engine on six of Chevron’s LNG carriers from dual-fuel (DF) to spark gas (SG) operation, a first-of-its-kind project in the marine industry aiming to reduce methane slip. 

The Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) has opened a new protocol for consultation to encourage methane reductions in shipping.

The host country for the upcoming UN COP29 climate summit skipped over the transition from fossil fuels in a list of priorities for the gathering in Azerbaijan, focusing instead on energy storage, waste methane and war. 

Focusing on the problem of methane slip in the “well-to-wake” approach, an industry-led group released its first report detailing research, trials, and the required steps to create greater understanding and eliminate the problems of methane slip associated with liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels.

The Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII), whose members include some of the biggest backers of LNG as a fuel, has come up with some pointers on how the industry can make the fossil fuel more green. 

Tuesday's Energy Absurdity: You Won't Believe Canada's Latest Solution to Global Warming [Follow me on Twitter/X at @EnergyAbsurdity] We all know cows burp a lot. They have four stomachs (really, it’s one stomach divided up into four separate compartments) to digest all that grass and hay and corn and other green stuff they eat, and all that digestive action results in a bunch of gas, most of which ends up being expelled in the form of burps and farts. But mostly it’s burps.

Finnish technology group Wärtsilä has introduced a new ultra-low emissions version of its Wärtsilä 31DF engine. Whilst operating on LNG, this new version can further reduce methane emissions on a 50 per cent load point by up to 56 per cent and nitrogen oxide (NOx) by up to 86 per cent. On a weighted average, […]

Here is another lesser known method for generating hydrogen, called methane pyrolysis. It is the process of splitting methane gas (CH4) into hydrogen gas (H2)… | 22 comments on LinkedIn

In a concerted effort with collaborators from the University College London, Professor Zhengxiao GUO from the Department of Chemistry, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), and Professor Junwang TAN

This collaboration has the potential to redefine methane detection and mitigation efforts and will contribute to broader satellite-based emission reduction efforts across the energy industry.
