Survey Finds Gas Industry to Be Dirtier Than It Should

[Marina Schwarz + 1,576]

"Most energy executives underestimate how much they can cut emissions as they extract and transport natural gas, according to a survey by the Energy Institute. Producers can reduce greenhouse gas flows by 75 percent simply by improving practices in the supply chain of the fuel, which consists mainly of methane. About half of that can be cut at no net cost."

In other words, stop those methane leaks and good luck.
