The paper published last week in a prominent U.S. science journal adds to a growing pile of studies that say our understanding of what is going into the atmosphere is incomplete
New federal research suggests greenhouse gas emissions from the Alberta oil sands may be significantly underestimated, adding to a growing pile of studies that say our understanding of what is going into the atmosphere is incomplete.
The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, describes how the researchers combined measurements from overflights, satellites and historical data to reach their conclusions. Their figures suggest the oil sands could be releasing about 31 million tonnes of unreported carbon dioxide into the atmosphere a year. As well, that potential under-reporting goes back to at least 2018.But the difference between their numbers and the industry-reported figures is big enough to suggest something is going on.
