(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 30 - After the gas leak from the NordStream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, the level of methane in Sweden and Norway is at record levels, according to the Swedish and Norwegian media, who speak of a 'big cloud'.
96% of the gas in Nord Stream 1 and 2 was methane.
According to the calculations of Stephen Matthew Platt, climate scientist at the Norwegian air research institute Nilu, this is about 40,000 tons of methane released by the suspected sabotage: "The emissions correspond to twice the annual methane emissions of the oil and gas industry. in Norway. These are record highs, but I have seen nothing like this before in Norway and Sweden. "
