Why are methane emissions from China's oil & natural gas systems still unclear? A review of current bottom-up inventories

Junlian Gao et al.

Summary: There is a growing concern over methane emissions from China's oil and natural gas systems due to the carbon neutral target. Studies show that the average methane emissions have tripled from 1980 to 2015, but there are large discrepancies in estimated values, mainly due to differences in emission factors and limited publicly available data. Collaboration and communication are critical for improving methane emission estimates and mitigation strategies in the future.

Sustained methane emissions from China after 2012 despite declining coal production and rice-cultivated area

Jianxiong Sheng et al.

Summary: China's anthropogenic methane emissions have been increasing with a slowing growth rate. Coal mine methane emissions have not decreased as rapidly as coal production, suggesting significant fugitive emissions from abandoned coal mines. Furthermore, emissions from rice-growing and aquaculture-farming regions are showing a positive trend, indicating potentially significant emissions from new aquaculture activities.

Closing the methane gap in US oil and natural gas production emissions inventories

Jeffrey S. Rutherford et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that methane emissions from oil and gas production in the United States are typically 1.5-2 times higher than official estimates, with equipment leaks being the main cause of the discrepancy. By developing a new inventory-based model, more accurate estimates of methane emissions can be made to guide mitigation policies effectively.
