Methane might be the world’s simplest hydrocarbon, but its immense global warming potential makes it a complex problem in the battle to halt climate change. It’s also invisible to the human eye, which has made catching the methane plumes leaking from oil and gas assets a challenge. That’s now changing, as a growing network of satellites offers more accurate evidence of methane leaks around the globe. On today’s show, Dana Perkins speaks with Maria-Olivia Torcea from BNEF’s Oil Team. They discuss the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0, new methods of detecting methane, and how data is being used by those responsible for leaks. Complementary BNEF research on the trends driving the transition to a lower-carbon economy can be found at BNEF<GO> on the Bloomberg Terminal or on bnef.com Links to research notes from this episode: Oil and Gas Methane Monitor: Super-Emitters in the US - https://www.bnef.com/insights/34535 Oil and Gas Methane Fix More Likely With Growing UN Group - https://www.bnef.com/insights/33675 The Methane Bill Facing US Oil and Gas - https://www.bnef.com/insights/31081 Gas With Low Methane Footprint to Grow to 45% of US Market - https://www.bnef.com/insights/33811 Tracing Methane Emissions From Oil, Gas and US Small Wells - https://www.bnef.com/insights/32979See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
