Subject | CARB Rice Cultivation Cap and Trade Protocol |
Comment | I wish to add a short supplemental comment to my previous comments about the Rice Cultivation (Cap and Trade-related) protocol. Philip Swanson, who is associated with a UN-led industry partnership, is reported to have asserted that the GWP of Methane is 84 -- which is the 2013 IPCC (5th) methane GWP for the 20 year interval, without feedbacks incorporated. If someone associated with a UN-led industry partnership is using a methane GWP of 84, then so should the CARB with regard to the rice cultivation protocol and all other protocols (both presently approved and to be considered in the future) that relate to methane. Sincerely, Todd Shuman, Camarillo, CA http://www.watoday.com.au/environment/climate-change/methane-emissions-raise-doubts-about-gas-industrys-climate-advantage-20150603-ghg9qu.html by Tara Patel, June 4, 2015 Methane emissions raise doubts about gas industry's climate advantage Philip Swanson, administrator of a United Nations-led industry partnership aimed at curbing leakage of the primary component of natural gas, presented at the World Gas Conference in Paris. [In][h]is presentation at the World Gas Conference in Paris on Tuesday. . . . He stated "This is a reputational issue for the industry," Swanson said. Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide, another greenhouse gas, and yet data on emissions during production and transport of natural gas "are still patchy." |
