Help Stop Methane Emissions at the Source

Real-time measurement and accurate data are the only way to prevent the damage methane gas is causing our environment and our planet.

WHO IS THE COALITION

About the Zero Emissions Coalition

The Zero Emissions Coalition was created to address woefully inadequate methods that groups are using to measure methane emissions and to demand that real technologies and standards be utilized to cure the climate. We are a collective of concerned conservation advocates and organizations dedicated to establishing a rigorous, quantifiable, and obligatory domestic and international methane imperative.

Our Mission

On a Path to a Net-Zero Economy

For today’s energy transition to be successful, it must be paired with real-time, independently verified ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) data to put us on the path to a net-zero economy. Methane emissions, the most potent greenhouse gas in the short-term, imperil our health, national security, and the planet. Real measurement of those emissions is crucial to taking real climate action now.

Slide 1

MYTHS VS REALITY

Myth #1

Natural gas is environmentally friendly.

Reality

Methane emitters like to use the term “natural gas” because it makes fracked gas sound “natural” and “pure.” But there is nothing “natural” or “pure” about the extraction and refinement of gas. Burning gas for energy pollutes our air, land, and water, impacts human health, and contributes to global warming through the widespread emissions of methane and other heat-trapping gases…

Slide 2

MYTHS VS REALITY

Myth #2

Natural gas is a cleaner energy alternative than other fossil fuels like coal.

Reality

Some studies show that burning gas for energy produces less carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels. But it also produces methane, which is far more powerful than CO2 in the atmosphere and works as a heat-trapping gas…

Slide 3

MYTHS VS REALITY

Myth #3

Renewable sources of energy are “intermittent” and more vulnerable to disruption than fossil fuels like natural gas. Just look at what happened in Texas.

Reality

In early 2021, a series of severe winter storms swept through Texas, causing massive blackouts and triggering a weeks-long power crisis. At the time, state Republicans including Governor Greg Abbott took to conservative news outlets to blame the state’s power crisis on renewable sources of energy…

Slide 4

MYTHS VS REALITY

Myth #4

Any gas that is Certified or Responsibly Sourced Gas is in fact responsibly sourced.

Reality

Such gas can only be considered “responsibly sourced” if the emissions are truly measured and the methane intensity of the production is less than or equal to 0.20 percent…

TAKE ACTION?

It’s time for the industry to clean up its act.

Energy sources must be the cleanest and abundant as possible. Tell federal agencies to implement stronger standards for regulating methane emissions and urge industry toward greater transparency and compliance.
