EcoWatch: The Aliso Canyon natural gas well blowout, which lasted for months and sickened scores of nearby residents, has been confirmed as the largest methane leak in history. According to a peer-reviewed study published Thursday in the journal Science, the nearly four-month leak released roughly 100,000 tons of methane--effectively doubling the methane emissions rate of the entire Los Angeles Basin. Southern California Gas Co. said it stopped the leak earlier this month. State Division of Oil, Gas and...

Yale Environment 360: The four-month natural gas leak that sickened hundreds of Los Angeles residents and forced the evacuations of 1,800 homes this winter has officially been deemed the largest methane leak in U.S. history, according to a study in the journal Science. The California leak spewed a total 97,100 metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, up to 60 tons per hourthe equivalent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 572,000 cars. Methane is a greenhouse gas dramatically more potent than carbon dioxide...

Largest gas leak in US history leaves 100-year climate legacy
2016-02-26 10:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: A new study confirms the unprecedented Californian gas leak as the biggest ever, leading to a 20% spike in the state`s methane emissions. An estimated 60 metric tonnes of gas spewed from the well near San Fernando Valley every hour, mounting to over 100,000 tonnes of methane and ethane during the 112-day blowout, according to a scientific study in the journal Science. The figures exceed previous estimations and will leave an impact on the climate for the next 100 years, equal to the annual...

Pig manure could help grow feed for piggeries, cut greenhouse gas emissions, research shows
2016-02-26 09:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Pig effluent could be used to grow algae or seaweed that is fed back to pigs as part of a closed-loop system for intensive piggeries. Key points: Researchers prove pig poo can be used to help grow algae Algae can be fed back to pigs or help to produce methane to generate electricity Pig manure can also help reduce use of costly fertiliser Researchers at Murdoch University's Algae Research and Development Centre have proven they can grow some aquatic species on untreated pig waste, despite...
