" ... Another critical area where big oil can demonstrate climate action is the reduction of methane leakages in conjunction with gas drilling. Natural gas is often seen as a critical transition energy. The growing share of natural gas in the portfolio of big oil, now accounting for 40% or more for many companies, can itself be seen as a proxy for adapting to the changing climate context. There are clear benefits to natural gas. When combusted as methane, it generates only about half as much carbon emissions as coal. However, methane leakages along the value chain can reduce the climate benefits of natural gas. Methane is the second most important contributor to emissions that cause global warming, accounting for about 16% (carbon dioxide is leading with 65%). Methane is estimated to be 100 times more potent than carbon dioxide. If leakages were to exceed 3.2%, the climate benefits of natural gas would be offset. The good news is that with a high focus on energy optimization and extensive emission reduction programs - motivated among others by a carbon price of $50 per ton - leakages can be minimized to below 0.3% as is the case with Norwegian gas. Indeed, numbers from Equinor suggest that the upstream part is less than 0.1% and that most of the remaining leaks are with local distribution and customers. ... "
" ... That's a reference to the cause of the mine explosion in April 2010 that killed 29 coal miners outside of Beckley, W.V.: Government regulators said that methane had combusted with excessive coal dust while Blankenship’s own experts disagreed, saying that escaping natural gas combined with too little ventilation that mining regulators had ordered. ...

" ... When combusted, hydrogen produces zero greenhouse gas emissions and is flexible enough to be used in existing natural gas power plants, which can be converted to burn hydrogen. ... "
" ... “We are concerned about LSHFO [low-sulfur ship fuels] because these fuels appear similar to HFO [Heavy Fuel Oil] when spilled as we have seen with the Wakashio spill. The Wakashio disaster is a disaster because of the type of oil spilled. Clearly LSHFO is extremely difficult to clean up and toxic to environment just like HFO. It also appears that some LSHFO are similar or worse in terms of Black Carbon Emissions (a potent climate forcing particulate) when combusted. ... "
