Yinzer investigating oil and gas claims on emissions reductions by day. Hopefully sleeping by night. Lots of tinkering and daydreaming in between.

🔑 The DOE analysis ignores the "coal vs. LNG" debate, instead focusing on LNG's market impacts.
If this was strategic, it was good strategy. The old guard "emissions displacement" approach was indefensible. And it foregrounds methane estimation Qs that are still the O&G industry's home turf

My new blog on the companies behind calls for an EPA methane rule repeal.
Under Biden bp, ExxonMobil, Occidental, Chevron and others claimed support for EPA rules to cut methane from oil and gas. Now they are behind calls from Texas trade groups to repeal them.

I’ll second that. And this only scratches the surface of the emission they are hiding. The midstream sector (aka pipelines and other associated infrastructure) is even worse.
This is one of the best stories I’ve seen explaining how oil and gas companies are hiding their actual impact on climate change despite cooperating with voluntary reporting programs
