«The overall significance is that although we already know that reducing methane emissions can bring great societal benefits via decreased near - term warming and improved air quality, and that many of the sources can be controlled at low or even negative cost, we still need better data on emissions from particular sources,» Duke University climate sciences professor Drew Shindell said.

Hybrid and electric cars, which have very high mileage and very low emissions, can also pull up an automaker's overall average for its fleet, although the effect can be small because the vehicles are still a small part of the market.

The big differences will be in the new «cluster architecture» CLAR platform underpinning the new X3: Although the car is expected to be longer overall — and therefore more spacious — it is also tipped to be lighter, by as much as 100 kg, to improve performance, emissions and fuel economy.

As a completely electric vehicle, with no gasoline engine as a range extender (as is found in cars like the Chevrolet Volt), there are no direct emissions, although its overall carbon imprint will depend on how the electricity's generated at its source.

Although CH4 emissions from reservoirs have been implicated as a particularly important source of CO2 equivalents (Giles 2006), constraining and modeling these fluxes is complicated by the fact that common methodological approaches, which are effective for CO2 and N2O emissions, do not capture an important fraction of overall CH4 flux: bubble - based (ebullitive) CH4 emissions.

Overall, although natural gas is a non-renewable fossil fuel that emits carbon dioxide, the cumulative emissions saved by fuel switching over the next decade from coal to natural gas are likely to prove far cheaper than the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in future decades.
