How do methane leaks compare with the flaring we have to do by definition when fracking occurs? As I understand even flaring produces something like 8% methane, probably more in less regulated oil production than the US.
- thinkcontext 3y agoIEA has some info that places flaring emissions within context within the O&G industry. Clicking into the Flaring section is also useful. https://www.iea.org/energy-system/fossil-fuels https://www.iea.org/energy-system/fossil-fuels In the US industry has said that around 1% of gas coming out of the flare stack does not combust. Recent research has shown this is about 5x too low which makes a big difference in the ghg impact.
