Researchers suggests any leaks along the natural gas supply chain could make it a more significant contributor to climate change than previously thought

It has pledged to reduce methane emissions and flaring intensity

Smithfield Foods will work with Dominion Energy to capture and use waste methane

Wärtsilä’s Puregas Solutions hope to significantly reduce methane emissions at the facility

The energy giant will work to stop the potent greenhouse gas leaking from its oil and gas operations

A new project in Germany aims to help develop a fuel filling station able to supply electric, methane and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Researchers at the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) aim to develop a ‘fuel pump’ that can cater to a variety of alternatively-fuelled, low carbon transport technologies in the most efficient and […]

BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, Statoil and Total are among eight energy companies that have committed to further reduce methane emissions from their natural gas assets. The firms, which include Eni, Repsol and Wintershall, have also agreed to encourage others across the natural gas value chain – from production to the final consumer – to follow suit. […]

Google is now sharing air pollution information gathered by sensors on its Street View cars. The project originally aimed to detect methane leaks from old gas pipes and other sources so they could be closed off – the greenhouse gas is around 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Other sensors now also measure levels […]

Methane leaks during the extraction of natural gas could make the fuel a larger contributor to global warming than coal generation. That’s according to new research from the Journal of Geophysical Research, which suggests although burning natural gas only produces about half as much carbon dioxide per unit of energy as coal, the methane contained […]

Methane emissions from old oil and gas wells are generally low compared to other sources of the gas, which include livestock burping and flatulent livestock. That’s according to a new report from Durham University, Newcastle University and the Environment Agency, which investigated more than 100 onshore wells across southern England, the east midlands, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire […]
