University of Texas at Austin study measuring methane emissions released from natural gas production

Green Car Congress

A research team led by The University of Texas at Austin, and including engineering and environmental testing firms URS and Aerodyne Research, is conducting a major field study to measure methane emissions from natural gas production, about which little empirical data exist.

Study quantifies impact of oil and gas emissions on Denver’s ozone problem

Green Car Congress

The first peer-reviewed study to directly quantify how emissions from oil and natural gas (O&NG) activities influence summertime tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) pollution in the Colorado Front Range confirms that chemical vapors from oil and gas activities are a significant contributor to the region’s chronic ozone problem.

Study finds that current approach to limiting wintertime pollution may initially backfire

Green Car Congress

A key control strategy is to reduce emissions of the limiting reagent. This is contrary to what is typically assumed and suggests a new way to mitigate this type of pollution in Salt Lake City, Denver and beyond. Denver often has the same problem in winter, when brown clouds hang over the city. —Womack et al. Womack, C.

Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

New NASA-funded research has devised a way to use satellite measurements of the precursor gases that contribute to ozone formation to differentiate among three different sets of conditions that lead to its production. This transition means that future NO x reductions will likely further decrease ozone production, said Jin.
