RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Trends in atmospheric methane abundance in past 40 years I was so alarmed by GoldStandard and felt so bad as a user of natural gas that I was about to scrap my furnace and hot water tank and call Enbridge to get rid of all gas pipes near the house. Lol.
But reading this article about LNG I quickly changed my mind. https://www.canadianenergycentre.ca/new-us-lng-project-required-to-use-natural-gas-from-canada-to-lower-ghgs/
I am so proud of Canada and will stick to natural gas eventhough not sure if gas in Ontario comes from Alberta or Appalachia via recently built Nexus or Rover pipelines.
Note:
A life-cycle analysis of the project conducted in 2018 – including “upstream” GHG emissions from natural gas production – found Canada to have a lower footprint than the US. GHG emissions from natural gas production in the United States “may be as much as five times higher than those for Canada,” the report said.
The difference could be even greater, the PSCAA said, citing research that found fugitive methane emissions from natural gas production in the US could be 60 per cent higher than published figures. This could lead to upstream emissions that are eight times higher than natural gas produced in Canada, the regulator said.
