Many people expect to zero in on carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere when discussing climate change, she said. While that’s also important, methane is the second-most abundant greenhouse gas and is more than 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Erik Crosman, an assistant professor of environmental science at West Texas A&M University, has noted a dramatic increase in methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector.
Crosman has studied methane coming from the Permian Basin, which is more leaky than other basins. The Energy Transfer pipeline lost “a ton” of methane for an hour, he said. It would have been a really big deal had it continued unchecked, considering how much methane it lost in just a short span of time.
