EcoWatch: The Aliso Canyon natural gas well blowout, which lasted for months and sickened scores of nearby residents, has been confirmed as the largest methane leak in history. According to a peer-reviewed study published Thursday in the journal Science, the nearly four-month leak released roughly 100,000 tons of methane--effectively doubling the methane emissions rate of the entire Los Angeles Basin. Southern California Gas Co. said it stopped the leak earlier this month. State Division of Oil, Gas and...

The California leak spewed a total 97,100 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, up to 60 tons per hourthe equivalent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 572,000 cars. Methane is a greenhouse gas dramatically more potent than carbon dioxide...

Climate Central: The gas leak that forced the evacuation of 1,800 homes in the mountains above Los Angeles late last year was the largest methane leak in U.S. history and shows the climate risks of aging natural gas infrastructure, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. The Aliso Canyon leak near the Porter Ranch neighborhood was so big that it emitted 97,100 tons of methane -- the equivalent of the annual greenhouse gas pollution from 572,000 cars, according to the study, which used aircraft...

Largest gas leak in US history leaves 100-year climate legacy
2016-02-26 10:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: A new study confirms the unprecedented Californian gas leak as the biggest ever, leading to a 20% spike in the state`s methane emissions. An estimated 60 metric tonnes of gas spewed from the well near San Fernando Valley every hour, mounting to over 100,000 tonnes of methane and ethane during the 112-day blowout, according to a scientific study in the journal Science. The figures exceed previous estimations and will leave an impact on the climate for the next 100 years, equal to the annual...
