Methane – a primary component of natural gas – leaks from drilling sites and pipelines which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat.
The amount is now ~10% higher than the cow burps which now many scientists are struggling to develop the feed to mix so called 3-nitrooxypropanol that may reduce the methane by as much as 30%.
Now, the gas leakage poses additional climate risks and erodes the climate benefits of replacing coal with natural gas.
