| Addressing Methane Emissions: Technology Limits to Mitigation Policy
Methane, a short-lived and potent greenhouse gas, presents a unique challenge: unlike carbon dioxide, it is emitted from a large number of highly distributed sources. In this regard, timely and cost-effective leak detection across large-scale facilities becomes a priority. As part of a federal push to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently recommended the use of optical gas imaging (OGI) technologies in mandatory industry-wide leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs. Whether such ‘find-all-fix-all’ policies are effective depends on significant uncertainties, both in technology performance and emissions characteristics. In this seminar, we will explore these uncertainties and develop broad guidelines for effective methane mitigation policies. Read more.

Join us at our information session to learn more! The Public Policy Program's coterminal MA degree is available to undergraduates whether or not they major in Public Policy. This coterminal degree responds to the need for an intellectually-rigorous pathway for undergraduates from diverse backgrounds to approach public service. Most students complete their MA in a fifth year at Stanford, though it is possible to complete an undergraduate and coterminal program in fewer than fifteen quarters. The program offers three tracks, depending on a student's undergraduate major. Each track includes a variety of courses from fields related to public policy and allows students to use electives or a concentration to specialize in a specific field of policy analysis. Read more.
