Methane and Chemicals
Upstream methane leakage is a critical yet often overlooked factor in discussions about decarbonizing the chemical industry, with current leakage rates potentially doubling the climate impact of fossil fuels over time. Unlike steel production, where energy inputs are primarily combusted, the chemical industry mainly uses fossil fuels to create products, making it the most energy-intensive sector while still being less greenhouse gas intensive due to the carbon being locked in products like plastics.In this clip
