Human activities now account for two-thirds of all methane venting to the atmosphere – and our efforts to staunch the flow are not yet bearing fruit.

Slowing climate change means cutting fossil fuel use. Many oil- and gas-producing communities aren’t prepared for that future, as a former White House economic and climate adviser explains.
For decades, Victoria relied on its offshore gas riches. But the wells are running dry – and there’s no plans for more supply in Australia’s largest gas consuming state.
New Zealand’s natural gas supply is forecast to drop by half within six years. The flow-on effects of scarcity will include rising costs, but this could shift demand to other energy sources.
Last week, Victoria’s main gas storage facility was worryingly low. It’s another sign of the flaws associated with leaving gas supply to the market
Emotions help shape opinion on energy sources. Understanding this can allow us to design better zero-carbon policies.
Without Japanese public funding, Australia’s LNG boom would have slowed
Oil and gas company Santos has been fined millions for breaches of record-keeping. Here’s why
Why is Australia talking about opening new gas fields as a way to reach net zero?
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can leak from oil and gas wells, pipelines and landfills. Satellites can spot the releases fast enough to get them fixed and help protect the climate.
Carbon capture is turning the oil and gas industry into a critical player for mitigating climate change – while its products continue to heat up the planet.
Ghana has spent over 60 years trying to build an aluminium industry.
The US, a minor liquefied natural gas supplier a decade ago, now is the world’s top source. That’s good for energy security, but bad for Earth’s climate. An energy scholar explains the trade-offs.
With the fourth significant shortage of helium in a decade continuing, companies and researchers are looking for alternative sources.
The natural gas industry has spent years trying to undermine scientific findings about gas stoves and health. If this sounds familiar, that’s no accident.
The use of fossil fuels carries a much heavier greenhouse gas penalty.
Britain’s energy price cap is lower than last year but there are still several factors that could increase energy costs this winter.
As climate change increasingly threatens our daily lives, we must redesign our homes to better protect us and be part of the solution.
Australia’s move towards net zero emissoions by 2020 is in danger of stalling. If it is not to fail, the nation urgently needs a government plan, aligned with industry and with public support.
Despite the meteoric rise of wind and solar, fossil energy sources have met most new demand in fast-growing economies.
