Dam Accounting — Taking Stock of Methane Emissions From Reservoirs

We happy to see this initial story in The Revelator reporting on the submission of our petition to the U.S. EPA to add dams and reservoirs to the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.

The Revelator story is here — take a look: https://therevelator.org/methane-dams-reservoirs/

A quote from the story:

“Just like we require coal-fired power plants and natural gas power plants to report their emissions, I think we should require hydropower systems to report theirs,” says Mark Easter, a senior research associate at Colorado State University studying greenhouse gas emissions and a backer of the petition effort.

Thanks for reading!
