Les fuites de méthane certainement sous-estimées

New satellite technology suggests methane leaks are more widespread than previously thought, increasing the risk of stranded assets for financial institutions supporting fossil fuel expansion, particularly shale reserves in the United States.

• New satellite technology used for permanent monitoring of methane leaks suggests that these emissions may be significantly more widespread than previously estimated.
• To limit global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C, no new fossil fuel infrastructure can be developed, and some existing operations must be closed before the end of their operational life; the new data on methane leaks may increase the number of sites requiring early closure.
• Financial actors face increased exposure to stranded assets if they do not require clients to adopt fossil fuel exit plans, especially regarding oil and gas expansion and shale reserves in the United States.
