By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. Zero- and low-emission vehicles also lower carbon dioxide emissions, helping to lessen climate change. Annually, the project will remove 1.38

On Friday, November 22, the Sabin Center submitted comments opposing an Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) proposal to rescind regulations limiting methane emissions from new oil and natural gas facilities (the “Methane New Source Performance Standards” or “Methane NSPS”). That view is, however, refuted by EPA’s own documents.

All of the stoves in the Stanford study leaked methane, the primary component of natural gas, and are merely the end point of a natural gas network that leaks like a sieve. But what about the 40 million homes —more than a third of US households—that currently cook with natural gas? in just one day.
