FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE UNDERHOOD FUEL INJECTION FUEL RAIL COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A VEHICLE FIRE.

Conequence: IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT OR ROLL - OVER, FUEL LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE.

On February 13, 2017, Infiniti QX60 hybrid units sold in China that were manufactured between January 19, 2016 and February 5, 2016 were recalled due to certain parts of fuel tanks being thinner than standard, leading to possible fuel leakage under heavy collision and possibly causing a vehicle fire.

For a more detailed discussion of the fuel tank leakage concerns that prompted these changes, see Ford Crown Victoria.

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.

Therefore, if switching to natural gas from coal reduces the amount of CO2 you emit, you can tolerate quite a large amount of leakage and still come out ahead, because the warming caused by the leakage will go away quickly once you eventually stop using natural gas (and other fossil fuels), whereas the warming you would get from all the extra CO2 you'd pump out if you stuck with coal would stay around forever.

It takes a far, far higher leakage rate to completely negate the benefits of switching, and even then you'd wind up coming out ahead from the switch a few decades after you stop using fossil fuels.

About one - quarter of the total emissions are related to fossil fuel extraction (CH4 emissions from coal mines, CH4 venting from oil extraction), transport and distribution (e.g., leakage from pipelines), and consumption (incomplete combustion).

Of the fossil fuels, natural gas emits less carbon dioxide than oil (though the gas itself, methane, is a powerful greenhouse gas and there are serious leakage problems with its use).

Regardless of our future national energy strategy (fossil fuels (oil, coal) versus renewable energy (solar, wind, biofuels, tidal, etc.)-RRB-, there will still exist the need to feed the ever - growing population (N2O released thru fertilizer use), refrigerate food for storage (leakage and release of the refrigerant, HFCs), and distribute electrical power (dielectric gases used like SF6).

Typical examples include: the expectation of high return on investment (short payback period); high capital costs and long project development times for some measures; lack of access to capital for energy efficiency improvements and feedstock / fuel change; fair market value for cogenerated electricity to the grid; and costs / lack of awareness of need for control of HFC leakage.

What do these leakage rates mean for the viability of natural gas as a bridge fuel?

So, although methane leakage reduces the short - term emissions benefit of switching from coal to gas — and should be addressed for that reason — it does not limit natural gas's potential as a bridge fuel to a low - carbon future.

In conclusion, we have identified strong ethical arguments that support the need to ramp up non-fossil fuel combustion in the United States and other developed countries while implicitly acknowledging that there could be some short - term benefit if coal combustion is replaced by natural gas, a conclusion that only can be reached with better understanding of the methane leakage issues.

Although radiation leakage has been reported, the reactor core containment is said still to be intact, But if the cooling operation is not successful then there is a risk that, aside from the (hopefully low) possibility of a explosion as at Chernobyl, or a hydrogen explosion (as was feared at one time at Three Mile Island in the USA), melting fuel could burn through the core and the floor of the reactor building and enter the soil, a risk that would be heightened if the floor structure was cracked by the earthquake.

However, the report also warned that while natural gas has carbon advantages over coal as a fuel source, the potential for leakages of methane may erode this benefit, as methane is a more potent greenhouse gas.
