During his doctoral studies (July 1989–January 1993) at the ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bernhard Jaun, Shu-Kun Lin conducted research on coenzyme 450 from methanogenic bacteria, which allowed him to explore the many physicochemical properties of methane [1,2,3].
Indeed, since 2020, more than 25,000 papers have been published on the subject of methane [4]. To date, MDPI has published 2568 methane-related articles across a wide range of topics, including natural gas, biogas, methane hydrate, methane as a greenhouse gas, and one recent publication [5,6]. This evident interest has led MDPI to launch a new journal: Methane (ISSN: 2674-0389) [7]. This new journal will not only expand, but also complement MDPI’s existing portfolio of journals, such as Sustainability, Energies and Fuels.
Methane will publish original research articles and comprehensive reviews in all aspects of methane science, and will benefit from MDPI’s fast and rigorous peer-review process [8], providing a leading forum for scientists to present and exchange their research results.
