Climate Benefits of Natural Gas Questioned in Major New Report
2014-02-14 20:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been underestimating methane leaks from natural gas production and use by 25 to 75 percent, according to a comprehensive assessment of more than 200 studies. When the methane leaks are accounted for, natural gas contributes to climate change more than industry and the EPA have claimed, concludes the report by a team of U.S. scientists. In some cases, natural gas contributes to warming more than other fossil fuel sources. For instance, fueling trucks and...

EPA seen underreporting emissions: what that means for natural gas use
2014-02-14 18:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Monitor: For years, natural gas has enjoyed a reputation as the cleanest fossil fuel because it releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when it is burned than coal or oil. With technology that allows companies to extract gas from reservoirs trapped in underground shale deposits in the US, domestic gas has become plentiful and cheap. As a result, it is increasingly replacing coal in power generation, and is substituting for gasoline and diesel fuel in fleets of retrofitted vehicles. But from...
Despite Leaky Methane, is Natural Gas is Still Worth the Switch?

Wall Street Journal: The U.S. is in a golden age for natural gas. Will leaky infrastructure bring it to an end? A new report, issued today in Science, is the latest to tackle the difficult issue of how much gas - and its primary ingredient, methane - leaks into the atmosphere. This may seem a bit arcane, but it's a critical issue for the future of the energy industry and the transportation sector as well. Here's a quick rundown: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, more potent than carbon dioxide. Natural gas has...
Wide-ranging review sees much higher methane leakage from natural gas operations
2014-02-14 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: Natural gas operations are leaking more of a potent greenhouse gas than previously assumed, but even so, the fossil fuel is better than coal for the climate, according to a comprehensive new study. The study found that U.S. EPA's greenhouse gas inventory is underestimating the amount of methane emitted in the United States by about 50 percent. Some of that excess is from the natural gas sector. The study was published yesterday in the journal Science and was funded by the Cynthia and George...
