Expansions of oil and gas activity and infrastructure in the Gulf Coast and Southwest regions of the United States could contribute annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 541 million tons (mmt) of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) by 2030, according to a new study published by the University of Texas at Austin (UT). This amount is equal to more than 8% of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2017 and roughly equivalent to the emissions of 131 coal-fired power plants, according to the analysis, which was fun...
