…methane leaks from the gas industry, both on an absolute basis and per unit of energy, and this is based on objective data from the IEA (note below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2022/01/12/coal-versus-gas-explaining-the-co2-intensity/ https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/ch4-context-the-largest-methane-leaks-of-all-time/…
…the impacts of methane leaks. Our best single note on this topic is linked here. What about super-emitters? Some sources have estimated that the worst 1-10% of leaks account for…
…methane leaks to 0.6% of commercialised gas. Leading the industry, we find the total end-to-end value chain taking Norwegian gas to European consumers leaks around 0.23% of the methane (note…
This data-file is a screen of companies detecting methane leaks and manufacturing equipment to minimize methane leaks. Mitigating methane is an important theme do ensure low carbon intensity as natural…
Methane slip occurs when a small portion of natural gas fails to combust in a boiler, burner, engine or turbine, and instead escapes into the atmosphere. How much methane leaks?…
Methane emissions from pneumatic devices across the US onshore oil and gas industry comprise 50% of all US upstream methane leaks and 15% of all upstream CO2. This data-file aggregates…
…and for the scale up of natural gas. If 3.5% of methane is leaked, then natural gas is, debatably, no greener than coal. Pages 6-9 quantify methane emissions and leaks…
…clearly stepped up to mitigate methane leaks. (You can also see in the data-file who has the most work still to do in reducing future methane leaks. For example, one…
…34 companies and 150 patents (chart below). Satellites were among the breakthrough technologies, with the capability to find methane leaks from space. This matters as c5% of super-emitting leaks comprise…
…gas demand. Downstream US methane leakages average 0.2% by volume, explaining 5.7kg/boe of emissions. Two thirds of these leaks can be attributed to gas mains. Leakages are correlated with the…
