Atmospheric observations suggest methane emissions in north-eastern China growing with natural gas use

November 2022
Fenjuan Wang, Shamil Maksyutov, Rajesh Janardanan, Aki Tsuruta, Akihiko Ito, Isamu Morino, Yukio Yoshida, Yasunori Tohjima, Johannes W. Kaiser, Xin Lan, Yong Zhang, Ivan Mammarella, Jost V. Lavric, Tsuneo Matsunaga
Nature Scientific Reports
Using atmospheric and satellite observations of methane, this study estimates poorly-measured methane emissions in China, and concludes that China's increased methane emissions are largely attributable to the growth in China's natural gas use.Read More →
