Journal ArticleDOI
Methane leaks from North American natural gas systems
Adam R. Brandt,Garvin Heath,Eric A. Kort,Francis O'Sullivan,Gabrielle Pétron,Gabrielle Pétron,Sarah M. Jordaan,P. P. Tans,Jennifer Wilcox,Avi Gopstein,Douglas J. Arent,Douglas J. Arent,Steven C. Wofsy,N. J. Brown,R. Bradley,Galen D. Stucky,Douglas M. Eardley,Robert Harriss +17 more
TL;DR: Methane emissions from U.S. and Canadian natural gas systems appear larger than official estimates, and global atmospheric CH4 concentrations are on the rise, with the causes still poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas supply chain
Ramón A. Alvarez,Daniel Zavala-Araiza,David Lyon,David T. Allen,Z. Barkley,Adam R. Brandt,Kenneth J. Davis,Scott C. Herndon,Daniel J. Jacob,Anna Karion,Eric A. Kort,Brian Lamb,Thomas Lauvaux,Joannes D. Maasakkers,Anthony J. Marchese,Mark Omara,Stephen W. Pacala,Jeff Peischl,Jeff Peischl,Allen L. Robinson,Paul B. Shepson,Colm Sweeney,Amy Townsend-Small,Steven C. Wofsy,Steven P. Hamburg +24 more
TL;DR: The magnitude of this leakage was reassessed and it was found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate, likely because existing inventory methods miss emissions released during abnormal operating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global oil depletion: A review of the evidence
TL;DR: The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) as mentioned in this paper conducted an independent, thorough and systematic review of the evidence, with the aim of establishing the current state of knowledge, identifying key uncertainties and improving consensus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a proposal for reliable low-cost grid power with 100% wind, water, and solar
Christopher T. M. Clack,Christopher T. M. Clack,Staffan Qvist,Jay Apt,Morgan Bazilian,Adam R. Brandt,Ken Caldeira,Steven J. Davis,Victor Diakov,Mark A. Handschy,Paul Hines,Paulina Jaramillo,Daniel M. Kammen,Daniel M. Kammen,Jane C.S. Long,M. Granger Morgan,Adam Reed,Varun Sivaram,James L. Sweeney,George Tynan,David G. Victor,David G. Victor,John P. Weyant,Jay Whitacre +23 more
TL;DR: Policy makers should treat with caution any visions of a rapid, reliable, and low-cost transition to entire energy systems that relies almost exclusively on wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, and find significant shortcomings in the analysis of Jacobson et al. (2015).
Journal ArticleDOI
Converting oil shale to liquid fuels: energy inputs and greenhouse gas emissions of the Shell in situ conversion process.
TL;DR: The Shell in situ conversion process (ICP), which is a novel method of retorting oil shale in place, is analyzed and greenhouse gas emissions from the ICP are calculated and are compared to emissions from conventional petroleum.
