Satellite analysis names Energy Transfer largest US methane 'super-emitter'

Who could have guessed? The biggest super-emitter of #methane in the US, Energy Transfer, is run by major donor to Trump, who has gutted regulation @uclalawemmett.bsky.social Story by @olliemilman.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Satellites don't lie. EU Regulators shouldn't look away A UCLA study, based on satellite data, has named the biggest #Methane "super-emitter" in the US The #EU #MethaneRegulation should be implemented as adopted, not delayed, and not muted under external pressure www.linkedin.com/posts/lotte-...

Energy Transfer gas facility at Shreveport, Louisiana, emits 1.56t methane per hour Climate impact of that over next 20 years is 1mn tonnes CO2, bigger than entire emissions of the Seychelles Top 10 US sites emit equivalent (almost) to CO2 from Albania www.theguardian.com/environment/...

CLIMATE CRISIS "From Jan 2025 to June this year, the Shreveport facility spewed out methane at an emission rate of 1.56 tonnes an hour, which is 15 times larger than the threshold defined in a Biden era program by the US EPA as a super emitter event." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Ironically Donald Trump has helped everyone realize the need to move on from oil and gas because of this (Iran) war. Gas isn’t energy security, it’s a vulnerability.” @txsharon.bsky.social

Satellite data identifying US fossil fuel "super-emitters" spewing planet-heating methane—led by a major Trump donor’s firm—exposes corporate greed. Allowing mega-polluters to pour toxins into our atmosphere unchecked endangers the planet. Why protect polluters? (1/2) 🤔 #ClimateCrisis

ameriKKKa is an extinction-level planetary threat.... "Energy Transfer, whose CEO is a major Trump donor, named as biggest single methane producer in new rankings" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Down a short gravel track in a largely nondescript corner of Louisiana sits a gas processing facility, operated by a company whose chief executive is a major donor to Donald Trump. It may be the largest emitter of methane in the US. The Energy Transfer site, located near the city of Shreveport […]

St. Louis unsurprisingly/surprisingly doesn't have that bad of a rep here. I am startled/confused about the Roxanna refineries not showing any plumes tho The big ones around us are the Labadie/Portage de Sioux power stations. Westlake landfill produces a plume www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Many of these sites are repeat offenders linked to not one but multiple mega plumes,” said Cara Horowitz. “As America’s oil and gas industry ramps up production, it can no longer ignore what can only be described as super-sized pollution events seen from space.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Energy Transfer is the most super duper, super emitter of them all. 👉Biggest single super emitter 👉4 of the 15 sites ranked as the biggest emitters 👉75 methane plumes in the study period. @timdonaghy.bsky.social But what you really need to know...👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

' 11 tonnes of methane an hour were dispersed in a single day from a gas processing facility near Shreveport, Louisiana '

Be sure and thank Trump donor Kelcy Warren as your insurance rates soar, when you have to decide between groceries and AC in April, if your house is destroyed in your city's Second Annual 100-Year Flood. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Energy Transfer site, located near the city of Shreveport, is named as the biggest single “super emitter” in new rankings of US oil and gas operations for the largest releases of methane,
