Webinar : The Environmental Case for Gas

This webinar provides a preview of the analysis undertaken in the World Energy Outlook 2017 on methane emissions from oil and gas operations.

The webinar covers:

- Combustion emissions from natural gas compared with other fuels, and the opportunities that this opens up for gas in the global energy outlook
- The contribution of the oil and gas industry to total anthropogenic methane emissions and the current status of efforts to measure and report emissions
- How the lifecycle emission intensity of gas compares to coal when taking into account combustion and methane emissions released across the respective value chains; and
- The cost-effectiveness of emissions mitigation, including first-of-a-kind marginal abatement cost curves describing the costs of reducing oil and gas methane emissions, and the potential climate benefits of doing so.

This is the second webinar in a series that will present the key findings and analysis from the World Energy Outlook 2017. In this webinar, focusing on oil and gas methane emissions and the environmental case for gas, you will hear directly from the report’s lead authors about some of the main messages and findings.

No mention of natural sources ie: agriculture, melting permafrost, landfills. degradation of forests from drought these are important sources that we cant ignore.
