Methane Pollution Is About To See A Serious Cut From This Stinky Source
2016-07-19 20:08:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ThinkProgress: Last Friday, the EPA announced new rules that will cut landfills` methane emissions by one third. The latest regulation is an update to rules last updated over 20 years ago. They are expected to reduce methane emissions by around 334,000 tons a year in 2025. That is equivalent to reducing 8.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Methane is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential over 25 times that of carbon dioxide, according to the EPA. But over a 20 year period, it can...

Colorado study blames faulty wells for methane found in water near fracking
2016-07-11 21:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
InsideClimate: Methane contamination of Colorado water wells from nearby fossil fuel development is likely due to faulty oil and gas well construction rather than hydraulic fracturing, according to a new study of aquifer contamination in the state. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Monday, is the latest to pinpoint the sources and pathways of methane reported in residential drinking water near drilling sites, a concern to many communities as the fracking boom has spread...
Study: Methane in Colorado water isnt always from oil wells
2016-07-11 16:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The oil and gas industry may not be to blame if northeastern Colorado tap water is so full of methane it can be set on fire, researchers say. Fewer than 5 percent of the region`s water wells that were checked for methane pollution had been tainted by oil and gas leaks, according to a study released Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. About 18 percent had methane that came from coal seams that underlie the area, the researchers said. The other wells either had methane...
