Activists on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza documented a large methane leak located in the British exclusive economic zone (position 57°55.41'N, 001°37.95'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 NordseeGreenpeace Kampaignerin Sandra Schöttner (R) und Enrico Quattrociocchi ROV-Supervisor sehen sich den Video-feed des ROV (ROUV, ferngesteuertes Unterwasserfahrzeug) an. Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen an Bord des Schiffes Esperanza haben ein durch die Öl- und Gasindustrie verschuldetes Methan-Leck im britischen Sektor der Nordsee dokumentiert (Position 57°55.41‘N, 001°37.95’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:12 Aug, 2020Credit:© Marten van Dijl / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4602px X 3158pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Computer monitors-Day-Educational and research equipment-Fossil fuel (product)-Greenpeace campaigners-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Natural gas-Natural gas industry-Oceans (campaign title)-Two peopleShoot: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.
