Capturing Value

The document highlights the potency of methane as a climate pollutant and the potential for federal regulations to reduce U.S. natural gas production leaks and venting by up to 50% using existing technologies.

• Methane is a highly potent climate pollutant, with a warming power up to 86 times that of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
• The United States currently experiences an annual loss of at least 1 to 3 percent of its total natural gas production due to methane being leaked or vented into the atmosphere.
• The implementation of federal regulations using available technologies could lower methane emissions by as much as 50 percent with little or no net cost.
