'There is just no excuse': Why do methane emissions remain 'stubbornly high'?

Business Green

IEA warns that methane emissions from the global energy sector fell only fractionally last year, despite projects to cut methane leaks providing hugely attractive returns on investment By rights methane emissions from the fossil fuel industry should be one of the easiest climate problems to fix. This is a significant problem.

Pop psychology: Appraising the options for hydrogen storage in transport

Envirotec Magazine

Hydrogen presents significant challenges when it comes to storage, given its molecular size and highly corrosive nature. It is also a more potent greenhouse gas than previously assumed, although these effects come about indirectly, when it interacts with other atmospheric gases to form methane and ozone.

Geological Hydrogen vs Fracking

Hydrogen Fuel News

Another pressing issue is methane leakage. During the drilling and fracking processes, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, can escape into the atmosphere. Induced seismicity, or human-caused earthquakes, presents another risk. With advancements in technology, hydrogen could play a pivotal role as a more sustainable energy source.

The COD delusion?

Envirotec Magazine

A Chinese study published in December aims to quantify the role of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) – and its predominance as a way of measuring organic pollution – in causing unnecessary GHG emissions. COD is widely used as an indicator of organic pollution in wastewater. Measurement methods compared.
