Methane gas contributes to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
MIT engineers have designed a new catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers.
The new catalyst works at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, which could make it easier and more economical to deploy at sites of methane production.
The researchers envision that this catalyst could be incorporated into pipes used to transport gas.
