Methane leaks 'could negate climate benefits'
2013-06-04 17:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Methane leaks could undo the climate change benefits of America's natural gas boom, a new report said on Tuesday. The report, produced by the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), said America's shift from coal to gas had produced important climate gains. Carbon dioxide emissions fell last year to their lowest point since 1994, according to the Department of Energy. Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were 12% below 2005 levels. But the report said those reductions were not...

Limiting Methane Leaks Critical to Gas, Climate Benefits
2013-05-22 19:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Knowing how much methane is leaking from the natural gas system is essential to determining the potential climate benefits of natural gas use. Our extensive review of the publicly available studies finds that a pervasive lack of measurements makes it nearly impossible to know with confidence what the average methane leak rate is for the U.S. as a whole. More measurements, more reliable data, and better understanding of industry practices are needed. It has been widely reported that shifting from...

Methane Across the Country
2013-05-19 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: Methane is created naturally near the Earth's surface, primarily by microorganisms by the process of methanogenesis. It is carried into the stratosphere by rising air in the tropics. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, stronger than carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, though on a century timescale, carbon dioxide is far stronger. "This research suggests significant benefits to slowing climate change could result from reducing industrial...
Scientists U.S. Road Trip Reveals Higher Methane Emissions Than Previously Known

Yale Environment 360: Methane measurements collected during a scientists road trip across the U.S. indicate that local emissions of the potent greenhouse gas are higher than previously known in many regions. Using a gas chromatograph mounted to the roof of a rented camper, Ira Leifer of the University of California, Santa Barbara, collected air samples from Florida to California, finding the highest methane concentrations in areas with significant refinery activity such as Houston, Texas and in a region of central...
