The emerging U.S. methane mitigation industry

An estimated 1-10% of U.S. natural gas escapes into the atmosphere instead of reaching the end consumer. The resulting methane emissions contribute powerfully to climate change, with each molecule of methane holding 84 times the warming potential of a molecule of carbon dioxide. An emerging industry of U.S. firms manufactures the equipment and services needed to control methane emissions—providing climate protection, creating jobs, and saving the oil and gas industry billions of dollars each year.
