Declining demand for fossil fuels won t solve our methane crisis

This week has seen the launch of a landmark report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) that details how the world can transition to a net-zero energy system by 2050. It has generated a lot of headlines, mostly focused on the massive and rapid phase-out of coal, gas and oil for energy production. A lot of this decline comes from drops in demand for fossil fuels. As Carbon Brief put it in its coverage of the report: “The precipitous decline of fossil fuel demand means that the NZE requires no new extraction of coal, oil or natural gas beyond 2021 … The IEA says that oil demand never returns to its 2019 peak and declines by nearly 75% from 2020 to 2050. This means continued investment in existing oil fields is sufficient to meet demand.”

Does a fracked greenhouse gas deserve the natural label?

Planet Earth At Risk of Methane Suffocation

Comments Off on Planet Earth At Risk of Methane Suffocation PARIS, France, May 15, 2021 (ENS) – Methane emissions caused by human activities can be reduced by up to 45 percent this decade, finds the world’s first Global Methane Assessment just issued by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, a voluntary partnership led by governments, and the United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP. Such reductions would avoid nearly 0.3°Celsius of global warming by 2045 and would be consistent with keeping the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach. The assessment, for the first time, integrates the climate and air pollution costs and benefits from methane mitigation.
