Almost all of the methane leakage calculated from the Texas research «could be affected by this measurement failure,» according to the paper; «their study appears to have systematically underestimated emissions.»

We will need to wait until the 16 academic - lead studies are completed to compare them with the national top - down emissions rate reported by Miller et al. for fossil fuel related emissions, including end uses and natural leakage, neither of which is being measured in these studies.

The important thing to understand is that essentially all of the climate effects of methane emissions disappear within 20 years of cessation of emissions; in this sense, the climate harm caused by methane leakage is reversible.

Hence, the emission reduction achieved by the policy would be partially offset by a net increase in foreign emissions, a phenomenon known as carbon leakage.

Requires the President to: (1) report to Congress, by January 1, 2017, and biannually thereafter, on the effectiveness of the distribution of emission allowance rebates in mitigating carbon leakage in eligible industrial sectors: (2) establish, if there is no multilateral agreement on reducing GHGs in force by January 1, 2018, an international reserve allowance program for each eligible industrial sector unless the President determines and the Congress concurs that the program, or inclusion of a sector within that program, would not be in the nation's economic or environmental interests.

-- The term «carbon leakage» means any substantial increase (as determined by the Administrator) in greenhouse gas emissions by industrial entities located in other countries if such increase is caused by an incremental cost of production increase in the United States resulting from the implementation of this title.

This is for a variety of reasons, not limited to; a banked excess, borrowing from forward allocations, reduced emissions, leakage list inclusion, CER switching or simply because carbon prices are very low, by historical measures.

After accounting for all the methane leakage factors mentioned by the Post, the NETL study clearly demonstrates that life cycle GHG emissions from LNG exports from the U.S. are significantly less than emissions from coal generated electricity in China and in Europe.

Further scientific analysis may reveal that methane leakage rates may be small enough to provide climate change emissions reduction benefits when coal combustion of electricity production is replaced by natural gas combustion.

-- The term «carbon leakage» means any substantial increase (as determined by the Secretary) in greenhouse gas emissions --

In fact, Oregon could virtually eliminate any emissions leakage from California by pegging its carbon price to California's allowance price — a strategy of aligning program elements we point out in our «linking by degrees» discussion paper.

This leakage, they claim, entirely offsets whatever reductions in carbon dioxide emissions would be achieved by switching from coal to gas to generate electricity.

Carbon leakage - The part of emissions reductions in countries that have agreed to a target for their greenhouse - gas emissions that may be offset by an increase of the emissions in the non-constrained countries above their baseline levels.

«Carbon leakage is defined as the increase in CO2 emissions outside the countries taking domestic mitigation action divided by the reduction in the emissions of these countries.»

Economist Bard Harstad with the Kellogg School of Management argues that climate coalitions could quickly slash carbon emissions by purchasing and conserving marginal fossil fuel deposits, a strategy that would solve the current problem of carbon leakage, i.e. when cutting emissions in one place pushes others to burn more elsewhere.

1 ton = ~ 7.3 barrels oil estimated Gulf oil leakage rate ~ 21600 barrels / day (5 - 40,000 depending on who's estimating) or 3000 tons / day methane emission = 1.5 e3 ton / day = 1.5 e9 g / day at 50 % methane by weight in the leak (probably a high estimate) Gulf area = 1.5 e6 km ^ 2 = 1.5 e12 m ^ 2 Gulf average depth = 1.62 e3 m Gulf volume = ~ 2.4 e15 m ^ 3
