The US has announced funding worth $30 million (£17.8m) for technologies to measure methane emissions in the oil and natural gas industry in a bid to effectively reduce them. Methane emissions in the US make up nearly 9% of all greenhouse gas emitted and is projected to rise to a level equivalent to more than […]
