Large methane release from abandoned hydrocarbon wells in Italy
Abandoned hydrocarbon wells (AHWs) represent an understudied anthropogenic source of atmospheric fossil methane (CH4). To date, CH4 flux measurements from AHWs have been extensively conducted in North America, highlighting the important role of unplugged wells, especially those that can be defined as high-emitters (releasing at least 0.9 t CH4 y−1). In Europe, only a few plugged wells have been measured, in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Ge…
CH4 isotopic signatures of emissions from oil and gas extraction sites in Romania
Methane (CH4) emissions to the atmosphere from the oil and gas sector in Romania remain highly uncertain despite their relevance for the European Union’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Measurements of CH4 isotopic composition can be used for source attribution, which is important in top-down studies of emissions from extended areas. We performed isotope measurements of CH4 in atmospheric air samples collected from an aircraft (24 locat…
Conflicting estimates of natural geologic methane emissions
Global bottom-up and top-down estimates of natural, geologic methane (CH4) emissions (average approximately 45 Tg yr–1) have recently been questioned by near-zero (approximately 1.6 Tg yr–1) estimates based on measurements of 14CH4 trapped in ice cores, which imply that current fossil fuel industries’ CH4 emissions are underestimated by 25%–40%. As we show here, such a global near-zero geologic CH4 emission estimate is incompatible with multiple …
The Global Methane Budget 2000–2017
Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of CH4 continue to increase, making CH4 the second most important human-influenced greenhouse gas in terms of climate forcing, after carbon dioxide (CO2). The relative importance of CH4 compared to CO2 depends on its shorter atmospheric lifetime, stronger warming potential…
Global geological methane emissions
A wide body of literature suggests that geological gas emissions from Earth’s degassing are a major methane (CH4) source to the atmosphere. These emissions are from gas-oil seeps, mud volcanoes, microseepage and submarine seepage in sedimentary (petroleum-bearing) basins, and geothermal and volcanic manifestations. Global bottom-up emission estimates, ranging from 30 to 76 Tg CH4 yr–1, evolved in the last twenty years thanks to the increasing num…
