BOULDER, Colo., July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new analysis—to be published in the scientific journal Environmental Research Letters on Wednesday, July 19—concludes that a methane leakage rate as low as 0.2 percent brings a gas system's climate risk on par with coal given methane's climate warming potency (82.5x higher than CO2 over a 20-year timeframe). Satellite data shows that many US gas systems far exceed that 0.2 percent threshold of leakage.Essentially, any amount of methane leakage contributes to the worst effects of climate change.

"This analysis compares gas and coal at varying methane leakage rates.
We find that very small methane leakage rates from gas systems rival coal's greenhouse gas emissions," said Debbie Gordon, senior principal of RMI's Climate Intelligence Program and co-author of the analysis with scientists from NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, Harvard and Duke University.
