Satellites: the spy who loved methane?
…gas – and for the energy transition – that methane leaks are mitigated. Our recent note, ‘Catch Methane if you Can‘ outlined five breakthrough technologies to help, based on screening…
Methane Leaks from Downstream Gas Distribution
…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…
Fugitive methane: what components are leaking?
This data-file looks through 35 different technical papers and data-sources to tabulate the methane leaks from different components around the oil and gas industry. $299.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart The…

Hydrogen: what GWP and climate impacts?
…from breaking down methane molecules. Thus the 100-year warming impacts of methane are exacerbated. In other words, the climate impacts of atmospheric hydrogen directly link to the atmospheric impacts of…
Methane reforming: costs of grey hydrogen, costs of blue hydrogen?
…combustion and water gas shift (all exothermic) versus steam methane reactions (endothermic). Energy efficiency of blue hydrogen production is most likely c70%, converting the thermal energy in the methane molecule…
CO2 intensity of shale: breakdown by category?
The CO2 intensity of shale oil averages 25kg/bbl, on a Scope 1&2 basis, of which 60% is from gas flaring and methane leaks. This model disaggregates CO2 emissions of shale…
