liquified naturalgas (LNG) providers to reduce the lifecycle emissions profile of LNG, and carbon dioxide is being used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to reduce emissions from oil and gas production. The credit was introduced in 2008 and was expanded twice, with the latest version enacted in 2022 (see Table 1 ).
In September 2022, the plant, called Shell Polymers Monaca, emitted 512 tons of VOCs, nearly reaching the 12-month permitted limit of its approved VOC emissions (516.2 In September 2022, the plant, called Shell Polymers Monaca, emitted 512 tons of VOCs, nearly reaching the 12-month permitted limit of its approved VOC emissions (516.2
Shale gas emissions reporting was an initiative of the Corbett Administration. In 2022, these facilities self-reported 13,432,713 tons of air pollution-- 47.93% came from mid-stream pipeline facilities; 30.18% from unconventional shale gas wells and 21.81% from main line naturalgas compressor stations.
The following factsheet on asthma and air pollution from naturalgas facilities was compiled by the Environmental Health Project -- Asthma is a chronic disease that affects breathing. Since 2005, shale gas development, also known as unconventional naturalgas development (UNGD), has grown rapidly.
The study-- Hazardous Air Pollutants In Transmission Pipeline NaturalGas: An Analytic Assessment -- was accepted for publication in Environmental Research Letters journal September 16. The contaminants looked at in that study were primarily carbonmonoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, formaldehyde, but not HAPS.
In September 2022, the plant emitted 512 tons of volatile organic compounds, nearly reaching in that one month the 12-month permitted limit of its approved volatile organic compound emissions (516.2 Our organizations have filed a notice of intent to sue Shell for the consistent violation of air pollution limits.
Shell also violated its 12-month emission limit for carbonmonoxide-- 393.595-- by reporting 1,060.320 tons. The Shell Petrochemical Plant has received a total of 11 Air Quality violations and two Water Quality violations since July, 2022. tons of nitrogen oxides. Shell reported emissions of 393.595.

residences burn methane gas (also known as naturalgas), wood, propane, heating oil or other fuel for heating, drying clothes and cooking food. Petroleum-based fuels, including naturalgas, propane, fuel oil and kerosene are the primary driver of these emissions. Posted: September 14, 2022] PA Environment Digest

On September 29, DEP told the Low-Level Waste Advisory Committee shale gas operations in Pennsylvania sent 138,336 cubic feet of radioactive TENORM (Technically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) waste to the Waste Control Specialists low-level radioactive waste facility in Texas for disposal. They posted it up.
million in 2022 Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant funding to help municipalities, schools, and businesses around the state switch to clean transportation and improve air quality in their communities. It also helps lower the level of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases heating up the climate, in the air.
Shell exceeded its rolling 12-month total emission limitations for volatile organic compounds (VOC) beginning in October 2022 through April 2023, carbonmonoxide (CO) from February through March 2023, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) from December 2022 through April 2023, and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) from December 2022 through April 2023.

By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. “This comprehensive approach to reducing vehicle emissions will help improve Pennsylvanians’ health while also helping to slow climate change.”
The Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant (AFIG) program provides funding to help municipalities, businesses, and nonprofit organizations in Pennsylvania replace older gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicles with electric, renewable naturalgas, compressed naturalgas (CNG), ethanol, biodiesel, or propane gas fueled vehicles.
On November 7, 2022, Shell reported emissions data showing that for the 12-month period ending in September 2022, the total VOC emissions reached 521.6 tons and for the 12-month period ending in October 2022, VOC emissions reached 662.9 See below. ]
The AFIG Program funds projects that replace older gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicles with cleaner fuel vehicles that helps reduce emissions of carbonmonoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide, a principal greenhouse gas.
Carbon Management Funding For example, in 2021 the Department of Energy’s budget for carbon management was between $300 and $500 million annually. With passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure law that year, about $12 billion more was allocated over the five years between 2022 and 2026—roughly an eightfold annual increase.
The general permit sets Best Available Technology requirements to meet emission limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbonmonoxide (CO) and other pollutants. DEPs 2022 Pennsylvania Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory shows coal mining-related greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 totaled an estimated 11.91
