A research roadmap for exploring AMR
A group of scientists at universities in Denmark and the Netherlands published a 5-year plan to research the validity of Enhanced Atmospheric Methane Oxidation. This is welcome news. AMR plans to drive ahead the technical development in a similar timeframe, which means both could learn from each other. Field tests conducted by AMR could, for […]

AMR Press Declaration
AMR has released a press declaration which you can find here: AMR AG has Developed a Technical Solution to Cool the Global Climate by 0.5 – 1.0 °C within 20 – 25 Years (einpresswire.com)
New Article in Favour of Methane Removal
Atmospheric methane removal may reduce climate risks – IOPscience
GeoRestoration – a new concept
We at AMR have discussed the concept of GeoRestoration for a while and can now present a paper which decribes in detail how this concept fits in with the current climate debate. https://amr.earth/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/GeoRestoration.pdf
GeoEngineering and AMR
Atmospheric Methane Removal is often classified as a category of so-called “GeoEngineering”. Therefore we have developed a standpoint regarding all Direct Climate Cooling methods. In 2022 we have created a website named Cool-Planet.Earth and in the past months have written a paper regarding GeoEngineering which we want to publish now. Enjoy reading! https://amr.earth/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Geoengineering-standpoint-AMR.pdf
New article shows flaws in current atmospheric science. Cooling interventions are needed.
Bad science and good intentions prevent effective climate action (eartharxiv.org) Quote: Even if all emissions stopped tomorrow, current committed warming will raise global temperatures by 2°C –5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100 (Cheng et al., 2022; Huntingford et al., 2020; von Schuckmann et al., 2020; Zhou et al., 2021; Hansen et al., 2023). These are […]

New article on methane removal with chlorine
Catalytic efficiencies for atmospheric methane removal in the high-chlorine regimeLuisa Pennacchio, Maarten van Herpen, Daphne Meidan, Alfonso Saiz-Lopez, Matthew S. Johnson https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/652666e08bab5d20551aaaa1 Abstract Catalytic production of chlorine atoms from iron salt aerosols (ISA) has been suggested as a means of achieving atmospheric methane reduction (AMR). The feasibility of this approach its efficiency and the optimum […]
New study regarding natural AMO
This study in PNAS, Publications of the (US-American) National Academy of the Sciences, again by the group around Matthew Johnson and Maarten van Herpen, plus many others, confirms natural atmospheric methane oxidation and provides measurements regarding the scale of this mechanism. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2303974120
