an interesting article by RTS.ch which shows the methane emissions related to the exploitation of natural gas deposits
According to Franco-American scientists who publish their work in the journal Science, methane leaks constitute 10% of the sector's emissions: this represents the equivalent of 20 million vehicles for one year. This is probably only the tip of the iceberg, satellite images can only detect the largest methane leaks.

In addition, some areas with insufficient sunlight, such as Canada, or tropical regions, with too dense cloud cover, could not be analyzed.

Limiting these methane leaks would allow operators to recover this gas, which contributes thirty times more to global warming than if it were burned to extract energy and end up as carbon dioxide.




emissions are monitored by satellites, but only intense sources are detectable.

It is therefore not a question of degassing of oceanic methane hydrate or permafrost.

however, the latter are also stimulated by the RC through a self-amplification phenomenon...
