Short summary
The methane leakage from natural gas may offset the reduced CO2 emissions from its combustion, To quantify its effect, we established the flux observation platform in Beijing, the results showed that natural gas has become a common source of both after the transformation of energy structure, the natural gas could escape during production, storage and use. Although the natural gas leakage rate is not high (1.12 %), the greenhouse effect caused by natural gas leakage can not be ignored.
