Given the current uncertainty about fugitive emissions from fracking, alleged emissions “savings” from moving to natural gas are little more than speculation. If they turn out to be mere paper emissions, then we’re screwed.

The real way to reduce GHG emissions is renewable energy, energy efficiency and reduced power use. The Anglo-American emphasis on shale gas is re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

One thing we can do as a result of Warsaw COP19 is to widen the field of GHG emissions monitoring. This means applying IPCC emissions algorithms to ALL energy efficiency & innovation projects at the point of funding (including small projects & Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)). This is entirely possible with cloud technology. It also brings in all the expertise and knowledge from around the globe in the established climate organisations to select & apply the calculations

Imagine if Europe promoted shale gas as the US has and as China is planning to. Then EU emissions are inconsequential.
Also imagine how much lower EU emissions would be if both Germany and the UK didn’t use more coal instead of gas.
