“The greenhouse gas footprint of shale gas is worse than that of coal, when methane emissions are considered and compared to carbon dioxide over an integrated 20-year time period…”
Don’t miss our very special guest and methane expert Professor Robert Howarth as he explains the contribution of methane to climate change and dispels claims about blue hydrogen as a solution in the climate battle. Professor Howarth and webinar host Bruce F Nagy will review ideas for municipalities to contribute to the effort to reduce methane by managing food waste and landfill processes, supporting oil and gas well capping and better agriculture practices. Methane emission mitigation is one of our most crucial climate strategies for the 2030s.
