Monitoring methane emissions from agriculture and dairy farming
Methane (CH4) is the second most prevalent greenhouse gas emitted from human activities. In 2014, CH4 was responsible for around 11 percent of all US greenhouse gas emissions caused by human actions. Methane is emitted by a range of natural sources such as marshlands, leakage from natural gas systems and livestock farming [1]. Domestic livestock such as cattle, sheep and goats, produce ...

Measuring the methane component of GHG emissions
With recent increases in global methane emissions, international efforts are underway to monitor and control the emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). Following the success of the inaugural Industrial Methane Measurement (IMM) Conference in 2017, the second IMM will take place in 2019 to address this vitally important issue. The IMM conference will run alongside the PEFTEC 2019 ...

Major Investor Coalition Pushes EPA To Adopt ‘Robust` Methane Regulations
A coalition of investors with more than $300 billion in assets asked the Environmental Protection Agency in an Oct. 9 letter to develop “robust” methane emissions regulations for the oil and gas industry. National standards will build investor confidence that natural gas is appropriately regulated and will prevent methane emissions that contribute to climate change, the letter to EPA ...

Methane: satellite data may improve emissions estimates
Greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories are significantly underestimating methane emissions from a region in the southwest of the United States, and potentially elsewhere, a new study has found. The authors of the study suggest that satellite data could be used to identify and quantify new sources of methane, such as fracking. Inventories of estimated GHG emissions, which are used by policymakers to ...

New research projects for improved regulatory modelling
Organisations which protect air quality need rapid and robust ways to assess the pollution impacts of industrial activities. The UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Environment Agency (EA) commission research to improve regulatory modelling techniques. CERC are working on several research projects for both organisations as part of Defra’s Research ...

Scientists question EPA estimates of greenhouse gas emissions
The approach the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural anaerobic lagoons that treat manure contains errors and may underestimate methane emissions by up to 65%, according to scientists from the University of Missouri. Anaerobic lagoons treat manure on some animal feeding operations prior to application to crops as a fertilizer. ...

Minimizing Methane Release
“Methane emissions from cows are decreasing, but not at the pace which the agricultural sector and the government agreed. The project, Reduced methane emission of dairy cows (ME001), will provide insights that enable targeted interventions for a 30% reduction of greenhouse gasses in the Netherlands by 2020”, explains prof. Johan van Arendonk in an interview for the Annual Report 2013 ...

USDA Awards EDF Grant to Quantify Voluntary GHG Emissions Reductions on Arkansas, California Rice Farms
Environmental Defense Fund, in partnership with Winrock International, the California Rice Commission and the leading Arkansas rice industry associations and producers, will receive a $1.1 million USDA Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) to demonstrate best practices for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from rice production in Arkansas and California. Growers in Arkansas, the largest rice ...

Laser gas detection success for Anglian Water Services
Anglian Water Services (AWS) wanted to quantify methane emissions from their wastewater treatment processes. As these are less well understood and less well defined than indirect carbon emissions associated with electricity use, they set up a project to locate and quantify emissions from the processes at a wastewater treatment works. This was led by the in-house Innovation Team which undertakes ...

Second phase of Oil and Gas Methane Partnership launched
Over 62 oil and gas companies have signed up to the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), which aims to reduce the industry’s methane emissions by 45% by 2025, and between 60 and 75% by 2030. OGMP 2.0, which builds on the original framework launched at the UN Climate Summit in 2014, provides a reporting framework for methane emissions in the sector, that will make it easier to ...
