96: Dr. Ilissa Ocko: Climate Change, Methane, and Sustainable Solutions
February 6, 2023
Ilissa Ocko, with a PhD in atmospheric physics, discusses climate change, focusing on methane, a potent short-lived climate pollutant. She highlights the need for better methane leak detection and repair, especially in oil and gas sectors.
Ocko emphasizes hydrogen's potential as a climate solution but notes challenges like leakage and energy-intensive production. Despite progress, methane levels are rising, and she stresses the importance of using existing technologies to reduce emissions. Ocko advocates for a balanced public policy approach.
