Measuring Methane: State Actions to Reduce Pollution and Create a Market
Methane is a greenhouse gas “super-pollutant” that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over 20 years. We can manage what we measure, but when it comes to methane emissions, we come up painfully short: most national databases, including the United States, are significantly underreporting those emissions. This…
How many emissions are in a standard barrel of oil and gas? It’s complicated but quantifiable.
Emissions from oil and gas vary by asset, location, and age.
Establishing Measures to Achieve Near-Zero Methane Waste from Global Oil and Gas Assets
The race is on to curb methane emissions and prevent energy waste through oil and gas supply chains. Readily quantifiable and comparable methane intensity metrics are sought after to meet this goal. Adopting such robust metrics will permit market actors and policymakers to assess companies, countries, and assets and comprehensively…
Pennsylvania: The Keystone State for an Emissions-Differentiated Gas Market
Pennsylvania and its surrounding states are a microcosm of methane market dynamics and have the potential to spur wider market differentiation.
The Oil and Gas Sector Is Leaking Methane. Here’s How to Track It.
The oil and gas sector continues to be a leaky business. Wasteful industry operations account for nearly 80 million metric tons of methane leaked in 2023, squandering precious resources and flying in the face of economic logic. This energy waste also superheats the planet: methane, the main component of gas,…
