Underestimated Methane Leaks Make Natural Gas Dirtier Than Previously Thought, Says Study
2014-02-14 00:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Methane emissions are worse than the conventional wisdom would have you believe, according to a new study by researchers at Stanford University. Methane, which is the primary component of natural gas, is an especially powerful greenhouse gas, packing more than two dozen times as much global warming potential than carbon dioxide. Traditionally, environmental regulators and energy industry groups have estimated methane emissions by multiplying the amount of methane emitted by a specific source...

Natural Gas May Benefit Climate Despite Methane Leaks
2014-02-13 22:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Methane leaks are common in the U.S. natural gas production and distribution system, but they do not fully negate the climate benefits of using natural gas to produce electricity over burning coal for electric power, according to a new Stanford University analysis. The paper, to be published Friday in the journal Science, concludes that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventories underestimate methane emissions from natural gas production, but hydraulic fracturing -- a process of fracturing...

Study Sees Path to Cutting Substantial American Natural Gas Leaks
2014-02-13 20:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A policy analysis published in Science today examines 20 years of research on leakage from natural gas production and distribution systems in North America, including hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and finds big opportunities to cut the worst leaks and a substantial climate benefit from a coal-to-gas switch, even accounting for higher leak rates. Gas leaks are not only wasteful and a source of regional air pollution but also contribute to global warming because the main constituent of nature...
