New study shows methane leaks from U.S. gas-burning stoves have a climate impact comparable to emissions from about 500,000 cars.
gas service for new homes makes sense,"otherwise we're locking in greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come," he said."The trickier question is how to swap out older stoves."
The Stanford study notes that over one-third of U.S. households—or about 40 million homes—cook with gas, and"in some states, the proportion is substantially higher; over 60% of households in California cook with gas, for instance." , explaining that 76% of the methane leaks were recorded when the appliances were off, which are emissions that the U.S. government doesn't consider.Jackson estimated that when all natural gas use and extraction is taken into account, about 100 million tons of gas leaks into the atmosphere. And the couple million tons from gas stoves"is meaningful. That's a substantial part and it's a part that we haven't included accurately in the past.
In a Stanford video about the study, Lebel said that"targeting the emissions from natural gas appliances is one of the low-hanging fruits that we have" to reduce methane levels.
