VIDEO INTERVIEW: Methane emissions from pipelines cancel climate benefits of move to natural gas: Bill Caram

VIDEO INTERVIEW: Methane emissions from pipelines cancel climate benefits of move to natural gas: Bill Caram 

by BNN Bloomberg (April 28, 2022) – Bill Caram, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, tells BNN Bloomberg that major leaks and emissions of methane from natural gas pipelines in the U.S. are only being noticed now because they are spotted by satellites from space. He notes that operators are not even required to report these leaks at present, and are compensated for lost product, so they have no incentive to minimize emissions. Caram points to reports saying there’s now more climate damage coming from natural gas than from coal due to methane emissions.
