Based on 2020 data the average across Pennsylvania was 0.08%, so Pennsylvania is already in this space. Methane, the largest component of natural gas, traps up to 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. So a methane intensity is the amount of methane that is released over the amount of methane produced.
