Abstract
Climate change has influenced United States policymakers and industry professionals alike to minimize greenhouse gas emissions; including methane, the second most abundant greenhouse gas. The recent focus on quantifying methane emissions is not only motivated by its abundance but also the high global warming potential of the gas, which is 86 times greater than that of carbon dioxide on a 20-year timescale. Techniques to quantify methane emissions can be broken into three categories: component level, facility level, and basin level. In this study component level measurements and published emission ...
