CIRES is a partnership of NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder. If leak rates are too high, natural gas does not compare favorably with one alternative, coal, in terms of climate impact. The Colorado, Utah and California basins combined produce less than 3% of all US natural gas—much less than the eastern basins.

Stanford University has launched a new research initiative to study comprehensively the development and use of natural gas. Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.
