Emissions

Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States decreased in 2015 and were 12% below 2005 levels, according to a note published Monday by the Energy Information Administration (EIA).

If aggressively implemented, a combination of low-emission alternative fuels and efficiency advances could reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the transportation sector by 29% by 2030, a study by a Boston-based research firm said.

House Republicans and state regulators sparred with Democrats and the Department of Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at a hearing Wednesday to discuss proposed rules governing flaring and venting of associated natural gas on public and tribal lands, with both sides in open disagreement over whether the BLM has the authority to enact such rules.

The increase in global ethane emissions is the result of increased oil and natural gas activity in the Bakken Shale, according to University of Michigan (U-M) researchers.
