The grainy black and white photograph taken with an infrared camera shows a smoky haze wafting from a natural gas storage tank. That cloud is methane escaping, said Philip Swanson, administrator of a United Nations-led industry partnership aimed at curbing leakage of the primary component of natural gas.

World Bank sets methane price floor to cut emissions

RTCC: To gee up green projects at risk of closure, the World Bank has guaranteed a minimum price for methane credits being auctioned for the first time. That will stimulate investment in projects ranging from biomass to waste management in developing countries, it hopes, curbing emissions of the heat-trapping gas. The owner of a landfill site could capture methane from the waste to generate power, for example. The World Bank says its plans will give financial security to sites in developing countries...

Flawed methane monitor underestimates leaks at oil and gas sites
2015-05-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: A popular scientific instrument used to measure methane leaks from oil and gas operations severely underestimates emissions under certain conditions, a preliminary study found. The results could have major implications for federal policies as the Obama administration moves to regulate methane from the natural gas industry. The research paper raises serious questions about the validity of existing methane data. Measurements taken by the instrument are frequently used by the Environmental Protection...
Probe takes aim at US methane plume mystery
2015-05-06 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Pilot and scientist Steve Conley slipped behind the controls of a nimble single-engine Mooney aircraft and took to the air over the Four Corners region of the U.S. West as part of a quest to find the sources of a mysterious methane hot spot detected over the area from space. Flying at about 2,000 feet, he banked hard left to circle the ventilation shaft of a coal mine as inlet tubes under the right wing of the aircraft sucked in air, which passed through equipment that detects and quantifies methane...
