US methane emissions flatline despite growing oil and gas output
Original: "U.S. methane emissions flatline, despite increases in oil and gas production" # US # USA # America # Climate # ClimateC
New reporting indicates U.S. methane emissions have remained essentially flat even as the country's oil and gas production has risen. The finding is drawing attention among climate observers, who see it as a signal that leak detection and mitigation efforts in the fossil fuel sector may be offsetting emissions growth from expanded drilling and output.
Why now: A new study suggests methane mitigation is holding emissions steady despite booming fossil fuel production, a notable climate development.
