UK substantially underestimates its methane emissions from oil and gas production – and many other countries probably do too

Envirotec Magazine

A newer, more accurate method for calculating methane emissions from offshore oil and gas production suggests that the United Kingdom severely underestimates its greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers conclude that as much as five times more methane is being leaked from oil and gas production than reported.

California grant money going to diesel and natural gas vehicles, not EVs

Charged

As regular Charged readers know, California, which suffers from some of the worst air pollution in the US, has an alphabet soup of incentive and grant programs intended to promote adoption of zero-emission or low-emission commercial vehicles. More than 90% of that has been spent on newer diesel engines or natural gas trucks.
