…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…
…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…
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?…
…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…
…identify early-stage companies in methane measurement and mature public companies in the oilfield supply chain. Global gas demand should treble by 2050 and will not be derailed by 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…
