Scientists develop automated system to monitor methane absorption in forest soils

Scientists from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an automated monitoring system to continuously track methane absorption by forest soils. A four-year study at a temperate forest site revealed a strong correlation between soil temperature, moisture, and methane uptake rates, enhancing understanding of methane oxidation dynamics.

Graphene-Coated Nanoporous Carbon Enables Ambient Methane Storage

In the quest for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, methane (CH₄) stands out as a widely available fuel with a high energy density. However, the practical storage and transportation of methane have long presented formidable challenges. Traditional approaches require storing methane as a compressed gas under extremely high pressures, near 25 MPa, or in liquefied form at cryogenic temperatures – conditions that are both energy-intensive …
