Sentences with phrase «fugitive methane leaking»

Not exact matches

Fugitive methane emissions — which occur when natural gas is leaked or vented — are another avoidable climate change contributor.

In addition to vented emissions, methane losses can occur from leaks (also referred to as fugitive emissions) in all parts of the infrastructure, from connections between pipes and vessels, to valves and equipment.

The EPA tracks fugitive and vented methane emissions through a program called Natural Gas STAR and then works to get drilling companies to save money by stanching their leaks and selling the gas they capture for profit.
