Gas streetlights, methane emissions, and the cultural resistance to climate change mitigation
Methane (CH 4 ) is a powerful greenhouse gas and natural gas is a fossil fuel, giving the gas supply chain a high mitigation potential. Here we document a source of CH 4 that is a pre-electrification legacy but still present in many cities worldwide: gas streetlights. This study draws on historical analysis and scientific measurement to determine why gas streetlights persist and the consequences of that persistence for the mitigation of climate c…
Direct measurements from shut-in and other abandoned wells in the Permian Basin of Texas indicate some wells are a major source of methane emissions and produced water
Oil and gas production wells are a major anthropogenic source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4 ) in the United States. Oil and gas production rates from these wells fluctuate due to changes in demand, and is expected to decline over the coming decades to centuries due to the transition to renewable energy. The CH 4 emissions profile from wells that are ‘shut-in’ to accommodate changes in demand has not been previously measured, and thus it is …
Assessment of methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas supply chain
A leaky endeavor Considerable amounts of the greenhouse gas methane leak from the U.S. oil and natural gas supply chain. Alvarez et al. reassessed the magnitude of this leakage and found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate. They suggest that this discrepancy exists because current inventory methods miss emissions that occur during abnormal operating conditions. The…
