NOAA study suggests research on Obama-era Methane Rules has inflated data
NOAA study timely as EPA issued 90-day stay on Obama-era fugitive methane emissions rules by Seth Whitehead, EnergyInDepth A new peer-reviewed National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study suggests emission estimates reported in a series of studies used to justify federal methane regulations may have been significantly exaggerated. The latter research garnered considerable media coverage based […]
Rapid, affordable energy transformation possible – NOAA study
Wind, sun could eclipse fossil fuels for electric power by 2030 The United States could slash greenhouse gas emissions from power production by up to 78 per cent below 1990 levels within 15 years while meeting increased demand, according to a new study by NOAA and University of Colorado Boulder researchers. The study used a […]
NOAA finds oil, gas production not driving global increase in methane emissions
By Katie Brown, PhD, EnergyInDepth Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have just released a new study in the journal Nature, which finds – like several previous studies – that microbial sources such as rice paddies and wetlands are the cause of the global increase in methane emissions, not fossil fuel development. […]
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 […]
