Methane: A Threat to People and Planet - RMI
Catastrophe gas explosion on the gas pipeline fire and black smoke
Why is unbridled methane leakage a major concern?
Public safety is also an ongoing concern, as recently evidenced by an underwater inferno that erupted when a gas pipeline leak ignited offshore in Mexico. And, half way around the world, another gas-propelled fireball shook the Caspian Sea where Azerbaijan has extensive offshore oil and gas developments. Leaking gas is highly explosive. Workers, residents, and property are at stake whenever accidents occur.
