Considerable amounts of the greenhouse gas methane leak from the U.S. oil and natural gas supply chain. Alvarez et al. reassessed the magnitude of this leakage and found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate. They suggest that this discrepancy exists because current inventory methods miss emissions that occur during abnormal operating conditions. These data, and the methodology used to obtain them, could improve and verify international inventories of greenhouse gases and provide a better understanding of mitigation efforts outlined by the Paris Agreement.

EDF discovered that methane leaks can undo some or all of the climate benefits we think we’re getting when we substitute natural gas for coal or oil.

Environmental Defense Fund spearheaded an extensive research series that revealed methane emissions were 60% higher than the U.S. government estimate.
