Independent study shows New Mexico’s emissions from oil and gas are HALF those of Texas’ industry

The nationally leading oil and gas regulations of the Lujan Grisham administration are having significant and positive impacts on greenhouse gas emissions from the industry. A study released last week by the environmental measurement and analysis firm Kayrros found that New Mexico’s oil and gas operations emit half those of Texas, per unit. Texas’ industry is far less regulated and often results in emissions traveling across state lines into New Mexico.
