Oil and Gas Industry Concerned about EPA's Proposed Methane Emissions Rules
2015-10-13 09:56:56| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
On August 18, 2015, the EPA released proposed rules aimed at reducing methane and other volatile organic compound emissions in the oil and natural gas industry. In January 2015, the EPA stated its goal to decrease methane emissions from the oil and gas industry by nearly 45% by the year 2025.

Report: Canadian Oil And Gas Operators Have Ample Opportunity To Reduce Methane Emissions
2015-10-09 03:50:58| pollutiononline Home Page
An independent analysis conducted by ICF International (ICF), a leading energy industry research firm, estimates that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas methane from the Canadian oil and gas sector can be reduced by 45 per cent below projected 2020 levels, all while using existing technologies

Methane emissions fall for 3rd consecutive year - EPA
2015-10-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: Greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas sector are on the rise, but methane leakage continues to fall, according to new U.S. EPA data. Petroleum and natural gas systems emitted 236 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent into the atmosphere in 2014, up from 228 million metric tons CO2e in 2013, yesterday's update to EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) shows. Methane emissions ticked down from 77 million metric tons CO2e in 2013 to 73 million metric tons CO2e last year,...

Air board targets cuts to climate pollutants like methane, black carbon
2015-10-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: California launched its next attack on the climate front yesterday with a proposal on how to cut short-lived climate pollutants like black carbon, methane and refrigerator gases. In a draft strategy, the Air Resources Board (ARB) said it would seek a number of changes to pare the pollutants, part of its effort to limit the global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius. Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) remain in the atmosphere for a shorter period of time than carbon dioxide and other...
US EPA hears widely different views on methane emission threat
2015-09-24 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Over-regulating methane emissions could discourage the use of environment-friendly natural gas, an energy industry representative told the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday. However, a former Colorado air quality official countered that such controls would be a cost-effective way to fight climate change. The EPA heard radically different views as it opened public hearings in Denver on its proposal to slash allowable methane emissions from oil and gas production. Sessions were also scheduled...
