Oil and natural gas boom causes methane emissions to increase

ScienceDaily: Like carbon dioxide, methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases. After a period of stagnation around 2000, atmospheric methane concentrations started to rise again in 2007. So far, the causes have been unknown. According to the recent study of climate scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), at least 40% of this increase result from the growing production of oil and natural gas in the northern hemisphere. The results are now published in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics...

Biodiesel made from palm oil emits more than three times as much and soybean oil around twice as much, when the crops effects on land use are considered, the research by the Ecofys consultancy for the European Commission found.
