THE gncs FACTSHEETS Mitigating Methane Emissions from Natural Gas and Oil Systems Methane (CH4) makes up nearly 14% of global greenhouse gas It is the third most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, after carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor. Of the estimated 6,875 million tons of CO2 equivalent (MtCO2e) global Methane Emissions in 2010, approximately 1,355 MtCO2e (20%) was released from leaks and venting in pipelines, compressor stations or wells in natural gas and oil Emissions from these sectors are expected to increase by around 35% by Molecule for molecule, Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2 but remains in the atmosphere for a relatively short time (roughly 12 years).
