A newer, more accurate method for calculating methane emissions from offshore oil and gas production suggests that the United Kingdom severely underestimates its greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers conclude that as much as five times more methane is being leaked from oil and gas production than reported.

Protestors at the Preston New Road site in 2017. Fracking operations at a site in Blackpool, UK, have caused an unintended release of methane gas into the atmosphere to the equivalent environmental cost of 142 trans-Atlantic flights according to new research. Three different methods were used to estimate the methane release rate.

As such, in 2022 81% of S&P 500 companies reported their own emissions (scope 1), and the emissions of the electricity they bought (scope 2). Although this level was not defined by the convention, the aim was to allow ecosystems and society to adapt naturally to climate change, which means slowing global warming down.

The law’s current implementation also offers no assurances that the new jobs promised for oil and gas industry workers will materialize, although it is a stated goal of the law.
