Natural gas emissions exceed coal emissions in US and Europe
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
Last week the Global Carbon Project reported greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas are outpacing and have eclipsed emissions from coal in the United States and Europe, according to E&E News.
In both the U.S. and Europe, natural gas has been central to emission declines, with fossil fuel emissions projected to fall 1.7% this year in the U.S. and Europe.
The increased natural gas emissions and decline in coal emissions are largely credited to the increased use of natural gas in the U.S. and Europe where cheap gas has helped replace coal as an energy generation source.

What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
