Emissions include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) and (commonly measured through what is known as carbon dioxide equivalents or CO2e). This annual report looks at where we are compared to where we need to be in terms of GHGs (see previous reports 2012 , 2018 and 2019 ).

This annual report looks at where we are compared to where we need to be in terms of GHGs (see previous reports 2012 , 2018 and 2019 ). Fossil fuel use is a major contributor of GHGs and coal powered power plants especially harmful. Efforts to manage emissions demands major reductions in our use of fossil fuels.

Properly plugging and abandoning oil and gas wells is vital to protect the environment and stop methane leaks – but for decades, oil operators have often slipped away without paying to clean up, leaving millions of deteriorating abandoned wells across the U.S. and regulators in different drilling regions face different issues.

This increases the risk of methane seeping into the air and oil migrating into the surrounding groundwater. Ten wells were just holes in the ground.
