Episode Details

As a top natural gas producing state, Wyoming has led in collaboration between academia, industry, and government to identify new ways to detect and curb methane emissions. Success in reducing methane emissions has changed Wyoming's natural gas production and has allowed production to continue despite mounting regulatory requirements on greenhouse gas emissions. This episode features Dr. Shane Murphy, the Director of the Center of Excellence in Air Quality at the UW School of Energy Resources and a professor in the Atmospheric Sciences department in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Dr. Murphy talks about collaboration, technology, and how Wyoming's energy industry partners surprised him.
