The methane menace
Oil executives weighing a potential investment in #Venezuela’s fields may want to check out the view from space.
Satellites have detected enormous amounts of #methane billowing from the country’s abandoned oil rigs,
rusty pipelines and other dilapidated energy infrastructure.

Venezuela Has the Most Methane-Intensive Oil in the World
The Trump administration wants American companies to modernize oil production in Venezuela. There are many roadblocks to that happening, though, including the country’s huge methane problem.

Microbes may remove more than half of groundwater methane, curbing global emissions
Groundwater commonly contains methane, but the amount of this important greenhouse gas that can escape to surface waters or the atmosphere is highly uncertain. A team from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and University of Jena has shown that microbes in groundwater significantly reduce methane emissions, as revealed in a study published in PNAS.

Carney is a carbon industry plant.
nothing says environmental “blank cheque” to industry like: “voluntary certification program”.
"But operators have another compliance option, which some may find controversial because it could give industry players some more leeway. Operators can design their own approaches, providing a facility meets "methane intensity thresholds" that are on par with standards from "leading international voluntary certification programs.””
That's what private forest companies (Mosaic) on Vancouver Island use to claim they are following ‘best practices' as they clear cut whole sides of mountains and leave a 10m ‘riparian zone' around streams while falling trees right over them.
It's a license to make up their own rules and do whatever they want, wider impacts be damned.

Der aktuelle #UN-Bericht zeigt Fortschritte bei der Umsetzung des Global #Methane Pledge, warnt aber vor großen Lücken.
Um das Ziel einer Reduktion um 30 Prozent bis 2030 zu erreichen, müssen verfügbare Maßnahmen rasch und umfassend umgesetzt werden. Über 80 Prozent der möglichen Einsparungen sind …

Ministers urge decisive methane action as global report shows progress, warns of gaps
The Global Methane Status Report, launched today on the sidelines of COP30 in Belém, shows that while considerable progress has been made since the launch of the Global Methane Pledge in 2021, more work is required to align with the level of ambition and action needed to meet the Pledge.

Satellites help tackle landfill methane leaks
Satellites are emerging as a powerful new tool in the fight to curb emissions of methane. While methane is much shorter-lived in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, it is vastly more potent at trapping heat, which makes rapid cuts essential for slowing warming in the short term. The same satellite technology that has transformed methane monitoring in the oil and gas sector is now being turned toward another major source—landfill sites.

The incredible tragedy for #ArcticScience of NOAA shutting down their #methane monitoring data. 5th May 2025 is the last data we'll ever get.

Hydrogen emissions are ‘supercharging’ the warming impact of methane - Carbon Brief
The warming impact of hydrogen has been “overlooked” in projections of climate change, authors of the latest “global hydrogen budget” say.
