So instead of building a massively expensive cable, simply put in the solar farm … create the hydrogen, put in the nitrogen, if you want ammonia, (or) carbon dioxide, if you want synthetic green methane, or just straight hydrogen, and ship that to Singapore, because that’s what they’re telling me they want. the shipping part has never been done, there’s nothing to work off – you’re really breaking new ground.

For carbon dioxide, we've always known about power plants and smokestacks and things like that ; but with methane, until recent years, we didn't understand how much an influence a small number of large sources have really had, we didn't understand how long the tail was and how important the super-emitters were for reducing emissions.

We offer an industry-leading clean-energy profile which includes a comprehensive net zero target by 2050 for both carbon and methane emissions as well as one of the nation's largest zero-carbon electric generation and storage investment programs.

We have very limited information about the composition of the surface. Rocky terrain, methane lakes, cryovolcanoes - we potentially have all of these, but we don't know for certain, so we thought about how to create a system that is versatile and capable of traversing different types of terrain but also compact enough to launch on a rocket.

We need to develop an orbiter for each of those planets, at Uranus, the five major moons are very different. They have unique geological history, so we need to understand how they were formed or captured. Uranus has a rotational pole that is tipped on its side more than the Earth, so we need an understanding of why that happened. At Neptune, there are a great amount of features in atmosphere similar to Jupiter and Saturn. And Neptune's moon Triton is of interest because of the methane geysers on it.

Remarkably, we saw that the atmospheric simulation and geological assessment, performed independently of each other, suggested the same region of provenance of the methane, which is situated about 500 km east of Gale, this is very exciting and largely unexpected.

Our analysis showed that HR 8799e has an atmosphere containing far more carbon monoxide than methane -- something not expected from equilibrium chemistry, we can best explain this surprising result with high vertical winds within the atmosphere preventing the carbon monoxide from reacting with hydrogen to form methane.

What we would like to see more of is scenarios, including a two-degree scenario, and we want better disclosure of the assumptions for these scenarios, we want clear targets for CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases, including methane. And we want to see reporting of progress against the targets.

When hot lava buries plants and shrubs, methane gas is produced as a byproduct of burning vegetation, methane gas can seep into subsurface voids and explode when heated, or as shown in this video, emerge from cracks in the ground several feet away from the lava. When ignited, the methane produces a blue flame.
