US Underestimates Methane Emissions From Fracking Report

2014-04-17 13:44:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Ria Novosit: The amount of methane emitted by natural gas extraction, including fracking, is grossly underestimated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), according to a new study published in the US-based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Thirteen scientists from different academic and research institutions and fields co-authored the report, which used special airborne instruments to identify large sources of methane and quantify emission rates in southwestern Pennsylvania....

Fracking methane leaks at least 100 times larger than EPA estimated, say researchers

2014-04-16 10:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

BusinessGreen: Gas methane emissions from some shale gas wells in the eastern US could be orders of magnitude larger than the EPA has estimated, according to a report released this week. In a paper entitled Toward a better understanding and quantification of methane emissions from shale gas development, scientists suggest that gas pads in southwestern Pennsylvania were releasing methane at a rate between 100 and 1,000 times greater than the EPA had suggested. "Large emissions averaging 34 g CH4/s per well...

Fracking Sites Release Way More Methane than Estimated, Study Finds

2014-04-16 09:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Softpedia: Study finds fracking sites cause more damage to the environment than previously assumed Earlier this week, researchers with the Purdue and Cornell universities released a new study bound to further fuel already widespread opposition against the practice of hydraulic fracturing. The study, published in Monday's edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says that, according to evidence at hand, fracking sites cough out way more methane emissions than estimated. This...
