Carbon capture's methane problem - IEEFA
The problem of associated methane emissions is endemic not only to SJGS, but also to other coal and natural gas plants where carbon capture is being proposed, as well as to “blue,” or natural gas-fired hydrogen projects that are seeking state and federal subsidies. For example, in the case of a gas-fired generator, even if a 90% capture rate is achieved over the long term, there are still likely to be significant methane leaks during production of the natural gas and its transportation to the generator, as well as from CO2 pipelines and the underground storage facility.
