GREENHOUSE gases are leaking from some US gas drilling sites at up to double the expected amounts, raising questions over the use of gas as a low-emissions fuel, according to researchers from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The report has implications for Australia's coal seam gas industry, which is marketing itself as a source of clean energy.
The industry body, the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association, said that, regardless of how coal seam gas emissions were calculated, they would all ultimately be accounted for under the federal government's carbon price plan.
