Assessment of Natural Gas Loss from the Well-to-Tank Supply Chain of Natural Gas Based Transportation Fuels
Methane (CH4) is the primary component of natural gas and the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, following carbon dioxide (CO2), and is thus the focus of global efforts to reduce the warming of the atmosphere. The global warming potential of methane is over 25 times that of CO2. Methane also contributes to […]
