InsideClimate: In a world wrestling with climate change and the need to phase out fossil fuels, nothing is more critical than making sure there are reliable and cost-effective clean energy technologies ready to fill the void. Keeping track of the pitfalls and possibilities is the Paris-based International Energy Agency, an autonomous organization that has been analyzing energy for 40 years. In 2006, the influential agency began publishing Energy Technology Perspectives, a report that examines energy technologies...

Massive Methane Hot Spot Detected by Satellite
2014-10-10 17:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: One tiny section in the U.S. is responsible for a significant amount of the country`s methane emissions, according to new information released by scientists from NASA and the University of Michigan. In a study published this week, they analyzed satellite-gathered data and found that an area about 2,500 square miles, near the "Four Corners" where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah connect, produces the largest concentration of these greenhouse gas emissions ever found in the U.S., more than...

Satellite Data Shows U.S. Methane 'Hot Spot' Bigger Than Expected
2014-10-10 10:18:13| pollutiononline Home Page
One small "hot spot" in the U.S. Southwest is responsible for producing the largest concentration of the greenhouse gas methane seen overthe United States– more than triple the standard ground-based estimate -- according to a new study of satellite data by scientists at NASA and theUniversity of Michigan
Satellites see hot spot of methane in US Southwest

Associated Press: A surprising hot spot of the potent global-warming gas methane hovers over part of the southwestern U.S., according to satellite data. That result hints that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies considerably underestimate leaks of methane, which is also called natural gas. The higher level of methane is not a local safety or a health issue for residents, but factors in overall global warming. It is likely leakage from pumping methane out of coal mines. While methane isn't...
Huge Methane Emissions Hot Spot Found in U.S
2014-10-09 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The largest concentration of methane emissions seen in the U.S. over the past decade has been detected by satellite over the the most active coal-bed methane production area in the country -- the Four Corners area of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona, according to a new study published Thursday. The hotspot, which predates the current hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, boom in the region, is over the San Juan Basin, where energy companies have been drilling and producing natural gas from...
