Hot vents in the deep sea are home to microbes that feed on ethane. Now researchers have succeeded in finding an important component in the microbial conversion of the gas. They were able to decode ...

Ethane is a hydrocarbon with a molecular structure C2H6, and belongs to the group of natural gas liquids (or NGLs). NGLs include ethane, propane (C 4 H 8 ), n-butane (C 4 H 10 ), iso-butane (C 4 H 10 ...

Natural gas processors or midstream companies take raw natural gas, delivered by upstream oil and gas producers, to a natural gas processing plant. Here, they clean out its impurities, separate it ...

Ethane emissions can lead to ozone pollution. Measurements at 49 sites show that long-declining atmospheric ethane concentrations started rising in 2010 in the Northern Hemisphere, largely due to ...

Global emissions of ethane, an air pollutant and greenhouse gas, are on the uptick again, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder. The team found that a steady decline of ...

Mean annual ethane levels measured over Summit and South Pole are consistent with those at other high-latitude sites, indicating that the measurements in polar firn air provide a reasonable sampling ...
