New NOAA study undercuts EPA, fracking not to blame for higher methane emissions
NOAA study further bolsters research by Energy In Depth: EPA’s new methane rule would reduce global warming a mere 0.004C by 2100 Just one day after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it will regulate methane emissions from existing sources of oil and natural gas in order to “combat climate change,” scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric […]
Methane emissions are measured accurately by researchers
Claims that methane emissions have been inaccurately measured don’t hold up to scrutiny – Katie Brown, Energy In Depth Methane – the primary component of natural gas – has been in the news a good bit this week, primarily in the context of the role it is expected to play (or not play?) in helping states comply with […]
Barnett Shale emissions bun fight has easy (and cheap) solution
Barnett Shale methane emissions studies find a few super-emitting facilities to blame A dispute between the oil and gas industry and eco-activists over fugitive methane emissions in the Barnett Shale nicely illustrates my argument of three months ago why the energy sector should voluntarily address environmental issues. Earlier this week, Environmental Science & Technology published a series of 11 papers on methane emissions in […]
