A new study by researchers at Imperial College in London shows that methane leakage from biogas production and distribution systems are twice as high as previously thought. If biogas plants are to fulfil their potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, then they must take action to reduce such leaks for both environmental and economic reasons.
The new Imperial study found that supply…
