An Experimental and Numerical Study on Supported Ultra-Lean Methane Combustion

Energies, 2019
With a much larger global warming potential (GWP) and much shorter lifespan, the reduction of methane emissions offers an additional opportunity and a relatively quick way of mitigating climate change in the near future.
