Natural Gas as a Bridge Fuel to the Future
Michael Levi, CFR
I have a new paper (PDF) in Climatic Change that explores the climate consequences of natural gas as a bridge fuel.Here’s the abstract (followed by a discussion):Many have recently speculated that natural gas might become a “bridge fuel”, smoothing a transition of the global energy system from fossil fuels to zero carbon energy by temporarily offsetting the decline in coal use. Others have contended that such a bridge is incompatible with oft-discussed climate objectives and that methane leakage from natural gas system may eliminate any...http://blogs.cfr.org/levi/2013/01/04/a-mixed-verdict-on-natural-gas-as-a-bridge-fuel/
