Oeste, de Richter, Ming, Calliol
2017
A description of the method we plan to use to oxidize methane, within the context of all the complex interactions of atmospheric chemistry.
Ming, de Richter, Oeste, Tulip
2021
A shorter description of the methodology we are implementing.
Jackson, Abernathy et. al
2021
An overview of all current methods under study for removing atmospheric methane. The iron salt aerosol method is featured.

Estimation of the impact of removing atmospheric methane on global surface temperature
Qinyi Li, Daphne Meidan, et. al 2023
Adding 630,
1250, and 1880 Tg Cl/year to the RCP8.5 scenario, chosen to have the most
consistent current-day trends of methane, will decrease the surface temperature
by 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 °C by 2050, respectively.
Maarten M. J. W. van Herpen, Qinyi Lib, Alfonso Saiz-Lopez, Jesper B. Liisberg, et. al 2023
Using a combination of field data and global modeling, we demonstrate a mechanism in which a mix of Sahara dust and sea spray aerosol activated by sunlight produces large amounts of active chlorine.
