Inexpensive clay material can curb methane emissions

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. In the international climate summit in Glasgow, abating methane emissions have become a major priority in order to reduce global climate change. MIT researchers have developed a method to control methane emissions and removing it from the...
