Description (excerpt):
A new report by the EPA significantly lowers estimates of methane leakage from natural gas production, from around 2.8 percent in prior reports down to 1.65 percent in 2011. They also report declining total methane emissions from natural gas production in recent years during the same period in which natural gas production has significantly increased, particularly from unconventional sources.
