Recent studies show that fugitive methane emissions associated with coal seam gas extraction pose a source of greenhouse gasses. In addition to the possible environmental impacts of methane emissions, quantifying the magnitude of emissions has potentially significant implications for future tax liabilities that could change the economics of the unconventional energy boom in Australia. The proposed research by an interdisciplinary team representing regulators, industry, and university researchers would establish a methodology for quantifying the flux of methane from gas fields. It would establish the range of natural baselines and determine the major sources of methane emissions using newly available highly sensitive instruments.

最近的研究表明，与煤层气开采有关的逃逸性甲烷排放是温室气体的来源。除了甲烷排放可能对环境产生的影响外，量化排放量对未来的税收责任可能产生重大影响，这可能会改变澳大利亚非常规能源繁荣的经济状况。由监管机构、工业界和大学研究人员组成的跨学科团队提出的研究将建立一种量化气田甲烷流量的方法。它将确定自然基线的范围，并利用新获得的高灵敏度仪器确定甲烷排放的主要来源。
