New IEA analysis reveals methane emissions from the energy sector are 70 per cent higher than official reports, but could high gas prices finally prompt operators to tackle the problem. It is one of the biggest and most worrying mysteries in the field of climate science: where are all the methane emissions coming from?

If the federal and provincial governments live up to their climate commitments (namely on methane reduction, industrial carbon pricing, an emissions cap and ensuring that new LNG projects reach net zero on scope 1 and 2 emissions), over eight Site C’s worth of additional electricity would be required to electrify the six LNG projects in B.C.
