  2. 16. Deep generated methane in the global methane budget

    Author : Elena Mukhina; Vladimir G. Kutcherov; Natalia Dubrovinskaya; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : Methane is a significant part of the global carbon cycle. The distribution of methane above and below the Earth’s surface suggests that atmospheric methane might be related to methane originating from the deep mantle. READ MORE

  4. 17. The role of deep hydrocarbons in the global hydrocarbon budget

    Author : Daniil Kudryavtsev; Vladimir Kutcherov; Kostya Trachenko; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrocarbons; non-methane volatile hydrocarbons; carbon dioxide; methane; ethane; propane; butane; global warming; diamond-anvil cells; Raman spectroscopy; high pressure; high temperature; phase transition; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : Nowadays, the issue of global warming and related environmental problems got widespread awareness among scientific society, politics, the industry as well as it has affected our everyday life. The reason for such a negative impact on the atmosphere is attributed mainly to human activities. READ MORE

  5. 18. Palladium Catalyzed Methane Oxidation for Emission Control

    Author : Ida Friberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; water deactivation; methane oxidation; regeneration; Pd beta; Pd Al2O3; Si Al ratio; Ba; sulfur poisoning; Pd SSZ-13;

    Abstract : The use of methane based fuels, such as natural gas and biogas, benefits from lower emissions of CO2, CO, NOx, non-methane HC, SOx and particulate matters compared to traditionally used liquid fossil fuels. However, the exhaust gases contain significant levels of unburnt CH4 residuals, which are desirable to minimize since CH4 is a strong greenhouse gas with high global warming potential. READ MORE

  6. 19. The functional potential of methane producing and consuming microorganisms in a changing world : Den funktionella potentialen hos mikroorganismer som producerar och förbrukar metan i en föränderlig värld

    Author : Joel White; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Methane; Metagenomics; Peatlands; flux; carbon dioxide; chamber measurements; stable isotope analysis; Eriophorum vaginatum; Calluna vulgaris; climate change; Captured metagenomics;

    Abstract : It’s clear that human activities have heated our climate via the release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Recent changes within the earth climate are rapid, intensifying, and unprecedented. READ MORE

  7. 20. Methane dynamics in northern wetlands: Significance of vascular plants

    Author : Anna Joabsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquatic ecology; marine biology; Hydrobiology; Växtekologi; Plant ecology; climate change; arctic wetlands; northern wetlands; plant-microbe interactions; methane emission; vascular plants; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : The studies presented in Papers I to VI illustrate several different aspects of the impact of vascular plants on methane emissions from northern natural wetlands. The subject has been approached on different scales, ranging from the study of microbial substrates in the vicinity of a single plant root, to an attempt to extrapolate some of the results to the entire northern hemisphere north of 50°N.
