Democrats sent a letter to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Wednesday asking for stronger regulation of gas stoves due to the indoor air pollution and negative health impacts they cause. Gas stoves can produce dangerous levels of indoor air pollution and even when turned off, can leak significant amounts of heat-trapping methane as well […]
Researchers from Washington State University have found a new method of waste treatment that can turn sewage sludge into biogas, which can be used for producing electricity or making renewable natural gas (RNG) for community use. The research, expected to publish in the journal Waste Management this December, tested a waste pretreatment process that applied […]
The European energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to arguments in favor of more oil and gas production. The UK’s former Prime Minister LIz Truss, for example, responded by expanding oil and gas licenses and lifting a ban on fracking. However, now it turns out that Europe has more natural gas […]
In a study of 159 homes all around California, researchers found that gas stoves are leaking harmful gases, like benzene, which was found in 99% of samples. The leaks are happening even when appliances are turned off, the study found. The authors say more research is necessary to determine how many homes are having these […]
This winter, Americans are projected to pay the highest price in a decade to heat their homes. A recent study by The National Energy Assistance Directors Association estimates that the average U.S. household will pay 17.2% more for heating costs — $177 more on average — compared to last year, which already saw record-breaking prices. […]
Skyrocketing fossil fuel prices could force American families to choose between heating their home and paying for other necessities this winter.
The methane leaking from Nord Stream pipes into the Baltic Sea may be one of the worst natural gas leaks in history, scientists say. Although the breached pipes were not in operation, they still contained natural gas when they were damaged. The leaking natural gas primarily consists of methane, a leading contributor to global warming. […]
Three separate leaks on Russia’s controversial Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines — which run from Russia to Germany beneath the Baltic Sea — have led to speculations of sabotage. The gas transport pipelines lie at the center of the energy deadlock between Europe and Russia. Danish energy authorities said two leaks had been […]
Russia indefinitely cut off delivery of methane-based gas to Europe, Gazprom said Friday. The state-owned energy company blamed the Nord Stream 1 pipeline shutdown on maintenance issues, just hours after the G-7 announced a joint cap on Russian oil prices, itself an effort to reduce Russia revenue from foreign fossil fuel sales. The full shut […]
