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. Overall, the team found that methane leaking from gas equipment totaled about 1.1% Where leak rates are low, the comparison favors natural gas.

A new study by a team from the University of Pennsylvania and MIT suggests it will be easier for cities to reduce CO 2 emissions coming from residential energy use rather than from local transportation. This reduction will happen mostly thanks to better building practices, not greater housing density.
