Methane from the destroyed Nord Stream pipelines spread over a large part of the southern Baltic Sea and remained for several months. This is according to a study by researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Voice of the Ocean research foundation.

Destroyed Nord Stream pipelines spread methane across southern Baltic Sea, research reveals

In September 2022, the Nord Stream pipeline network, which was transporting natural gas from Russia to Western Europe via the Baltic, was destroyed with explosives. This sabotage, which remains unclear, although several news reports pointed this summer to an operation carried out by Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, not only had consequences for European energy security. It also involved a huge methane leak (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas th…

En septiembre de 2022, la red de gasoductos Nord Stream, que transportaba gas natural desde Rusia hasta Europa Occidental por el Báltico, fue destruida con explosivos. Este sabotaje, que continúa sin esclarecerse, aunque varias informaciones periodísticas apuntaron este verano a una operación ejecutada por Ucrania tras la invasión por parte de Rusia, no solo tuvo consecuencias para la seguridad energética europea. También supuso una enorme fuga …

The sabotage of Nord Stream caused the largest methane leak recorded so far: the equivalent of eight million cars in a year

The Nord Stream explosion in 2022 released a record amount of methane. Studies show that most of the climate-damaging gas entered the atmosphere, but some of it also entered the Baltic Sea water.

Die Nord-Stream-Sprengung 2022 setzte einen Rekordwert an Methan frei. Studien zeigen: Das klimaschädliche Gas gelangte größtenteils in die Atmosphäre, teils aber auch ins Ostseewasser.

Methane emissions from the Nordstream pipelines in 2022 were the largest measured at a single event. Thousands of tonnes were dissolved in the water and dispersed in the Baltic Sea. “It affected all the way from Denmark in the west to Poland in the east,” says researcher Martin Mohrmann.

Metanutsläppen från Nordstreamledningarna 2022 var de största som uppmätts vid en enskild händelse. Tusentals ton löstes upp i vattnet och spreds i Östersjön. – Det påverkade hela vägen från Danmark i väster till Polen i öster, säger forskaren Martin Mohrmann.

After the leak in the Baltic Sea: Record methane emissions

After the attack on the natural gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, large amounts of methane flowed into the sea. Researchers have now calculated exactly how much. They also explain why gas was still flowing out of the water days later.

Nach dem Anschlag auf die Erdgaspipelines in der Ostsee strömten große Mengen Methan ins Meer. Wie viel, haben Forscher nun präzise berechnet. Sie erklären auch, warum noch Tage später Gas aus dem Wasser strömte.

Nord Stream explosions released almost half a million tons of methane

The environmental impact of the attack on the Nord-Stream gas pipelines has long played a subordinate role. Thanks to studies, however, it is now clear that the ecological significance is also immense, at least for Germany. As a result, much more methane is released than previously assumed.

Die Umweltbelastung durch den Anschlag auf die Gaspipelines Nord-Stream spielt lange eine untergeordnete Rolle. Dank Studien wird nun aber klar, auch ökologisch ist die Bedeutung immens, zumindest für Deutschland. So tritt viel mehr Methan aus als bislang angenommen.

Author remains unclear: Nord Stream attack creates largest methane leak in history

Several explosions caused leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022. Large quantities of the particularly climate-damaging gas methane escaped. An analysis by the UN Environment Programme now provides insights into the extent of the problem.

Mehrere Explosionen rissen im September 2022 Lecks in die Nord-Stream-Pipelines. Dabei traten große Mengen des besonders Klimaschädlichen Gases Methan aus. Eine Analyse des UN-Umweltprogramms gibt nun Einblicke in das Ausmaß.
