Relying more on natural gas would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, but it would do little to help solve the climate problem.

Crude oil and gas naturally escape from the seabed in many places known as seeps. This microbe, an archaeon named Methanoliparia , transforms the hydrocarbons by a process called alkane disproportionation: it splits the oil into methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Their open-access results are published in the journal mBio.

Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, albeit a distant second. Observations from satellites and ground sites suggest that biomass burning—the burning of plant and other organic material that releases carbon dioxide and methane—contributed about 20% of the total methane released into the atmosphere in 2007.

Further, because producing pig iron in a blast furnace creates especially large amounts of carbon dioxide, this new process also reduces CO 2 emissions. It mixes the molten mass so completely that almost all of the carbon monoxide escaping from the bath reacts with the oxygen in the hot air blast, forming CO 2 and heating the liquid steel.
