Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced via supply-side changes — gas turbine generation and domestic fuelling by natural gas being favoured at present — or via energy efficiency and emission reduction measures. Methane emissions from leaky gas supply systems and from coal mining are significant in the greenhouse equation. Renewal of leaky gas mains, domestic boilers fired by gas or coal and domestic energy efficiency measures are found to all rank higher in the UK context than building new gas-fired power stations, contrary to earlier claims. Speeding the replacement of aged cast-iron gas mains and service pipes is calculated to be very economic in greenhouse abatement.
