Learn about greenhouse gases including methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, and their impact on climate and ecosystems.
What is methane from cows, why is Bovaer 10 being used, and should consumers be told how their food is produced? A Note to Readers This article is intended to encourage informed discussion about Bovaer 10, methane emissions and consumer transparency.

When we think about sources of methane emissions, livestock and fossil fuels usually come to mind. But one of nature’s smallest creatures — the termite — is also playing a surprisingly big role. Termites contribute approximately 11% of the world’s methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas that traps more than 80 times more heat than […]
When we talk about climate change, carbon dioxide (CO₂) tends to dominate the conversation. But there’s another gas that’s heating the planet even faster: methane (CH₄). It’s the second biggest driver of global warming—and Australia has a big problem with it. Why Methane Matters Methane is over 80 times more potent than CO₂ at trapping […]
This question isn’t a common thought but refers to ‘smog’ which is air pollution produced by burning fossil fuels. This air pollution contributes to the greenhouse gases that are caught in our atmosphere, aiding an increase in the earth’s temperature. The image above, taken over the east coast of Australia, shows a slight browning surrounding […]
Did you know Hydrogen comes in many colours? A gas that is clear, seems to be referred to by many colours across the colour spectrum, from Green to Pink, and Brown to Turquoise to name just a few. We really like to call this the Hydrogen Rainbow. The different colours of Hydrogen refer to the […]
