Experts Say This Decade Could Eliminate Oil & Gas Methane Emissions.

AsiaOne Unveils EarthOne: A Planet‑Friendly Section

Finally, we get a news arm that’s all about saving the planet and cracking the science behind it. Meet EarthOne – AsiaOne’s fresh slice of evergreen content. If you’re keen on green news, this is your new go‑to.

Why Methane Is the Dragon We’re Trying to Tame

In London, at the Reuters IMPACT climate conference, industry insiders shouted at the top of their lungs that the methane beast lurking in oil and gas setups is dead‑easy to plunder in the next decade. Talk about a “quick fix” for this pesky gas!

Key Talking Points

• 100+ Nations pledged a 30 % cut in methane by 2030 – that’s a global rally for cool‑thinks.
• Over the last 5 years, detection tech has turned into a methane sherpa, making it simple for energy giants to sniff out the leaks.
• Methane is a powerhouse: 80 times more heat‑trapping than CO₂ over 20 years. It’s like giving the planet a big, smelly upside‑down high‑five.
• Oil & gas is the boss: 23 % of global methane, landfills pinball about 20 %, AND agri‑fauna share roughly a third.

MLG — the “Methane Lockdown Game”

Georges Tijbosch, CEO of MIQ, says methane from oil and gas is the “one problem that can be solved by the decade.” It’s like playing a game of chess with the planet’s thermostat.

Sky‑High Sensors &nbsp— &nbspThe Big Bird Tech

GHGSat’s Deepak Anand explains that aircraft and satellites now fly in high‑school traffic to spot methane plumes. The goal? Fix them before they turn into a colossal smoking ring.

Methane is a fuel. “We’re helping oil & gas find treasure.”
The GHGSat data on the Nord Stream 2 blip spoke up: the leak was equivalent to burning 630,000 pounds of coal every hour. That’s the size of a Manhattan block in one breath.

Using Methane as a Gold Mine (Or a Bullion)

Randy Pérez from the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (or OGC) sums it up: “If we want gas to remain a transition fuel, we’ve got to curb its methane footprints.” Without a hulking decline in leaks, it’ll be a no‑go ride for the planet.

Takeaway: It’s Hot, It’s Greasy, But It’s Also Adjustable

Forget the doom‑and‑gloom narrative. We’re talking about a trillion‑dollar mission to capture the methane fury before it fuels apocalypse. And the estate? Show me the sensor data, baby.

So dive into EarthOne, stay on the hot topic, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll help keep our planet from turning into a giant methane sauna.
