Canada: Failure to account for fugitive methane gas could undercut BC's climate change efforts, experts say
2013-01-09 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vancouver Observer: A failure to account for fugitive gases released accidentally from gas wells and pipelines could have serious repercussions as oil and gas exploration heats up in British Columbia, experts say. Canadas Pembina Institute is calling for more studies into fugitive methane leakage near gas production facilities in British Columbia following a recent study in the US that revealed substantial levels of escaping methane gas. We have recommended that the issue of fugitive emissions from shale gas...

Bridge To Nowhere? NOAA Confirms High Methane Leakage Rate Up To 9% From Gas Fields, Gutting Climate Benefit
2013-01-05 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have reconfirmed earlier findings of high rates of methane leakage from natural gas fields. If these findings are replicated elsewhere, they would utterly vitiate the climate benefit of natural gas, even when used to switch off coal. Indeed, if the previous findings - of 4% methane leakage over a Colorado gas field - were a bombshell, then the new measurements reported by the journal Nature are thermonuclear: ... the...

Measuring Fugitive Methane Emissions from Fracking
2013-01-04 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A Cornell study released last year, lead by Professor of Ecology and Environmental Biology Robert Howarth, was the first of its kind to study the global warming impact of natural gas extraction from shale deposits. The conclusion was that fracking releases up to 8 percent of the extracted methane directly into the atmosphere, and reports that all methane will contribute to 44 percent of global warming.

Methane leaks cast doubt on shale gas climate credentials
2013-01-04 13:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: US scientists have once again warned large amounts of methane could be leaking from new onshore gas drilling projects, challenging claims the fuel can offer a lower emissions alternative to coal. Around nine per cent of the potent greenhouse gas methane produced by a gas field in Utah was shown to be escaping into the atmosphere, according to preliminary results published in Nature by a team comprising researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University...
