A Close Look at Fugitive Methane Emissions from Natural Gas

2013-04-02 16:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

World Resources Institute: Natural gas is booming in the United States. Production has increased by 20 percent in the last five years, fueled largely by technological advances in shale gas extraction. Other countries--including China--are now studying our experience with this abundant new resource. But the growing role of natural gas in the U.S. energy mix hasnt come without controversy. Natural gas development poses a variety of environmental risks. In addition to habitat disruption and impacts on local water and air...

Manhattans Methane Levels Show Natural Gas as Damaging to Climate as Other Fossil Fuels

EcoWatch: Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS) commissioned a preliminary investigation by Gas Safety, Inc. in November and December of 2012 of fugitive emissions of natural gas in Manhattan to better understand gas distribution systems in the context of global climate concerns. The methane measurements in Manhattan indicated many leaks, some intense. Very few measurements indicated normal background methane levels. The preliminary report indicates Manhattan sits in a cloud of elevated levels of methane....

The New Tech that Aims to Make Methane Leaks a Thing of the Past

Forbes: Around my house the phrase methane explosions tends to open up the door for the sorts of jokes teenage boys like to make, but as utilities deal with aging pipelines and the natural gas market continues to grow, the threat of methane leaks is no laughing matter. Northern California utility Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) found this out the hard way in 2010 when a faulty weld in its San Bruno pipeline gave way, leading to a massive explosion that destroyed multiple homes and killed eight people. Since...

New Technology Records Baseline Methane Emissions Prior to Construction of Fracking Infrastructure

2013-03-20 15:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

EcoWatch: Many know fracking`s iconic image: a faucet spewing flaming water, but fewer realize that it`s largely methane, the main constituent of natural gas, burning. Since 90 percent of natural gas is methane, methane levels directly reflect the amount of natural gas in an area. After gas related activities come to a region, homeowners frequently discover methane (and other materials) in their water and/or air. However, they have little recourse because gas and gas pipeline companies persistently deny...
