#Greenwashing par excellence - "Certified #NaturalGas is ‘dangerous greenwashing scheme’, US senators say - Group of progressive senators led by #EdMarkey call for crackdown on certified natural #gas in letter to #US federal regulators

Certified natural gas – or #methane gas that is purportedly produced in a low-emissions manner – is a “dangerous greenwashing scheme”, a group of progressive senators wrote in a letter to federal regulators on Monday ... The reality is that #gas certification schemes allow the #oil and gas #industry to justify the continued expansion of #MethaneGas use and undermine efforts towards a just transition to renewables,” says the letter, which was also signed by the senators Jeff Merkley, Sheldon Whitehouse, Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal, Bernie Sanders and Cory Booker ... The gas sector has long branded itself as #climate - friendly, noting that when burned, the fuel generates less planet-heating #CarbonDioxide than other #FossilFuels. But gas – called “natural gas” by #FossilFuel interests – is made of methane, a #GreenhouseGas #GHG 80 times more planet-heating than carbon dioxide in the short term. Some research even indicates the fuel is worse for the climate than #coal."
