While “natural” gas is mostly composed of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide during its first 20 years in the atmosphere, Ebel and his industry counterparts have succeeded in minimizing the perception of its climate impact.

Those who work on soil issues have long hoped for a new study, with well-known soil scientists calling for one as early as 2005, at the government’s annual Two Sessions meetings. An increase of only a few percentage points would sequester huge quantities of carbon. This represents 25% of the potential of all natural climate solutions.

Fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant global warming pollutant, but also produces local pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). which is formed in the atmosphere from precursor gases such as NOx.

Oil and gas major ConocoPhillips’ website says gas is “one of the safest and cleanest fuels available” and that when it is burned, it “produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor—the same substances emitted when humans exhale.” Likewise, pipeline giant Williams Companies now refers to its gas projects as “clean energy” projects.
