Transforming methane into biodiesel: promising research in Brazil
A team of researchers from the Federal University of São Carlos in Brazil is working on a process to convert methane into fuel “under mild conditions, while using less energy”.…
What are the consequences of global warming?
Experts predict that the ongoing climate change resulting from human activities will have some consequences that can be described as positive, such as the discovery of new energy resources or…
Scientists think we need to review the role of methane in global warming
When we talk about global warming, we immediately talk about carbon dioxide (CO2). And we sometimes forget rather quickly that there are other greenhouse gases. Methane (CH4) especially. Its ability…
Global warming: the underestimated role of methane?
When we talk about global warming, we immediately talk about carbon dioxide (CO2). And we sometimes forget rather quickly that there are other greenhouse gases. Methane (CH4) especially. Its ability…

Greenhouse gases: CO2 or methane, which is worse?
Carbon dioxide and methane are among the best known greenhouse gases. The increase in their emission into the atmosphere is the cause of the current global warming. the carbon dioxide…
Agriculture, the cause of global warming
The agricultural and food sectors will be very strongly impacted by the multiple consequences of global warming, as we have seen in the first two reports in this series. Continuing…
