Wood Mackenzie, an energy research firm, located in Scotland is the latest to issue a devastating analysis of Professor Horwath's study that claimed gas is as dirty as coal on carbon emissions. See http://www.woodmacresearch.com/.
Wood Mackenzie finds that Professor Horwath overestimated the amount of gas vented in well completion and flowback by 60% to 65% and the impact from emissions during well completions by 90%.
Wood Mackenzie said that Horwath did not include in his calculations major new industry trends and practices such as reduced emission completions which are now common in many shale plays that have been well developed.
