Why in the news?<\/h2>\n

According to a new study, a significant portion of the methane gas<\/span> released from the ruptured Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea last September never reached the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Findings on Methane Release from Nord Stream Pipelines<\/h2>\n
1. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have discovered that a significant portion of methane gas released from the ruptured Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea last September never reached the atmosphere.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Instead, between 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes of Methane (the potent greenhouse gas) dissolved into the surrounding seawater.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Explosions along the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in late September 2022 resulted in one of the largest unintentional methane releases ever recorded<\/span>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. While some methane formed visible plumes on the water’s surface, a substantial amount dissolved at various depths in the Baltic Sea.<\/div>\n

About Nord Stream 1<\/h3>\n

1. Nord Stream 1 is a 1,224 km underwater gas pipeline running from Vyborg in northwest Russia to Lubmin in northeastern Germany via the Baltic Sea<\/span>.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 It is primarily owned by the Russian energy giant Gazprom<\/span> and is the main network for gas delivery to Germany.<\/p>\n

3. Most of the gas is directly supplied to Germany, while the remainder is distributed west and south through onshore links to other countries and into storage caverns<\/span>.<\/p>\n

About Nord Stream 2<\/h2>\n

1. The 1,200 km Nord Stream 2 pipeline was planned to run from Ust-Luga in Russia to Greifswald in Germany through the Baltic Sea, with a capacity to carry 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year.<\/p>\n

2. It was designed to operate alongside the Nord Stream 1 system.<\/p>\n

3. Germany, Russia\u2019s largest European gas consumer, receives most of its gas through the Nord Stream pipelines.<\/p>\n
