UK Greenlights Carbon Capture From Natural Gas
Shell's project would, for the first time, capture and store most emissions from a natural gas power plant.
Maryland Protests Planned Against Exporting Natural Gas
A proposed liquified natural gas plant would be the first on the East Coast and would lead to an even bigger surge in fracking.
Study Counters Widely Held View of Benefits of Natural Gas
Natural gas is not critical for cutting carbon emissions and could interfere with growth in efficiency and renewable energy.
Who Says Renewables Can't Beat Out Natural Gas?
In Texas, when calculations reflect real world conditions rather than outdated assumptions, wind and solar are more competitive than natural gas.
Will the Natural Gas Boom Crimp Renewables?
In the short term it could be an obstacle to new utility-scale projects, but rooftop solar PV could fill the gap.
Natural Gas Fracking Emissions Higher, And Should Provide Additional Energy Source
Fracking for natural gas significantly raises methane emissions, but those could provide additional energy if it were captured.
Study: Emissions from Shale Gas Worse than Coal
Over a 20-year period, methane emissions from natural gas fracking contribute more to climate change than coal.
