Assessing Methane Emissions From the Natural Gas Industry: Reviewing the Case of China in a Comparative Framework

The aim of this paper is to explore methane emissions from China’s fossil fuel industry compared with the USA and Canada, a focus on emission mechanisms, calculation methods, mitigation potential, abatement technologies. This explores natural gas comparative perspective. main conclusions are as follows: (1) production phase largest in whole supply chain. (2) When it comes measurement estimation Canada typically achieve Tier 3 level, while China tends be at 1 2 levels. (3) There large potential for industry. More effective waste reduction technologies like green well completion should implemented phase, especially China. At same time, more attention drawn need leakage detection pipelines all countries here. As methane-emitting country, lags behind reduction. Therefore, Chinese scientists, policy makers, entrepreneurs pay emissions. Stakeholders enhance measures order climate targets.
