Major oil and gas-producing regions in the US are leaking much more methane than current estimates suggest, according to nearly a million aerial measurements of the potent greenhouse gas.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur study used the largest such dataset that\u2019s ever been assembled,\u201d says Evan Sherwin<\/a> at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, who conducted the research while at Stanford University.<\/p>\n

He and his colleagues combined data from numerous aerial surveys that used infrared sensors to measure methane<\/a> leaking from wells, pipelines\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
