Wildfire - Methane leaks in Baumgarten gas knot

Gas station and distribution facilities Baumgarten is located in the eastern part of Austria. It
serves as a major gas connecting hub within Europe and is operated by Gas Connect
Austria. Baumgarten shows incomplete and not burned gases, as well as questionable
escapes that are not visible to the naked eye. It was also possible to detect gases that were
insufficiently burned, thus leaking into the atmosphere and potentially damaging the climate
and environment.

Wildfire - Methane Leaks in Austria - Photos

Greenpeace Austria got a hold of a Flir GF320 camera, that is able to detect emissions that are normally invisible to the eye - such as f.e. methane. The team looked at different oil and gas sites of the Austrian Oil and Gas giant OMV to detect leaking pipelines. The main part of fossil gas is methane.
Methane directly released to the atmosphere is a very potent greenhouse gas, it’s 25 times more potent than CO2.
