Methane leaks could negate climate benefits of US natural gas boom: report
"Methane leaks could undo the climate change benefits of America's natural gas boom, a new report said on Tuesday.
The report, produced by the Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), said America's shift from coal to gas had produced important climate gains.
<>
They were also being offset by a sharp rise in methane, the most powerful greenhouse gas on a human timescale, that was being released into the atmosphere at well sites, compressor stations and along pipelines."
