Activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented two large methane leaks located in the British exclusive economic zone (at positions 57°55.30'N, 001°37.87'E and 57°54.81'N, 001°38.72'E) in the North Sea. Caused by a major blow-out incident during a gas drilling operation 30 years ago, the leak is still emitting the highly potent greenhouse gas methane.In original language:Untersuchung eines Methan-Lecks in der NordseeEin ROV-Operator macht sich Notizen über den Standort eines unbekannten Objekts auf der Grundlage von Informationen, die von dem Seitensichtsonar geliefert wurden, das vom Greenpeace-Schiff Esperanza im britischen Teil der Nordsee gestartet wurde. Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen an Bord des Schiffes Esperanza haben zwei durch die Öl- und Gasindustrie verschuldeten Methan-Lecks im britischen Sektor der Nordsee dokumentiert (Position 57°55.30'N, 001°37.87'E und 57°54.81'N, 001°38.72'E). Aus dem Leck entweicht hochwirksames Treibhausgas. Der Krater am Meeresboden entstand bei Bohrungen nach Öl und Gas. Seit 30 Jahren treten dort große Mengen des Gases aus.Locations:Europe-North Sea-United KingdomDate:13 Aug, 2020Credit:© Marten van Dijl / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4497px X 2995pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Close ups-Day-Fossil fuel (product)-Hands-KWCI (GPI)-Natural gas-Natural gas industry-Oceans (campaign title)-Research-Writing (activity)Shoot:Protect the North Sea: Esperanza Tracking the Fossil Fuel IndustryThe Greenpeace ship Esperanza is on its way to a month-long documentation and peaceful protest tour in the North Sea. Teams on board will gather evidence of the extreme industrialization of the region by the oil and gas industry, which has been polluting the ocean and fuelling the climate crisis with a “business as usual” attitude for several decades.Related Collections:Investigation of a Methane Leak in the North Sea (Photos & Videos)
