An earlier analysis from the group found that ET had the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/energy-transfer-facility-reportedly-saw-the-worst-methane-plume-in-the-u-s-in-2025\/\">largest methane plume<\/a> in the U.S. in 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20 year time frame. Uncontrolled methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure have long been underestimated and are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/sep\/14\/us-companies-methane-pollution-rankings\">major driver of the dangerous impacts of global warming<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to operating multiple methane-polluting facilities, Energy Transfer is the company that has pursued an abusive lawsuit against Greenpeace in the U.S. and Greenpeace International, resulting in a $345 million judgment. The Greenpeace defendants are currently petitioning for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2026\/03\/f1dd37c0-gp-brief-iso-motion-for-new-trial-2026.pdf\">new trial<\/a> in the case, and intend to appeal the judgement.

The report links to PSE Healthy Energy\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/mrm.psehealthyenergy.org\/tool\">Methane Risk Map<\/a>, which details possible local health impacts for multiple observed plumes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenpeace USA\u2019s earlier report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/bad-neighbor-energy-transfers-pattern-of-pollution-and-violations\/\"><em>Bad Neighbor<\/em><\/a>, also documented a pattern of methane emissions from ET\u2019s facilities dating back many years. That report also compiled the company\u2019s track record of oil spills, air pollution impacts, and enforcement violations. Energy Transfer has grown rapidly in recent years and now says that their pipelines transport 30% of U.S. natural gas.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ET\u2019s co-founder Kelcy Warren is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/a-brief-history-of-kelcy-warren-and-donald-trump\/\">long-time supporter of Donald Trump<\/a>. After being re-elected in 2024, Trump has methodically revoked and weakened regulations and laws designed to curb methane emissions such as those documented in this report. Actions like these put the health and well-being of communities around the globe at risk.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(*) The report covers January 1, 2025 to June 1, 2026 and excludes all sites with 2 or fewer observed plumes. The values represent the average emission rate over all observations (including null detections). ET\u2019s large plume from the earlier ranking does not appear in this latest list because that specific Carbon Mapper source only has two detected plumes. Emissions were not detected in the most recent observation of the ET source in Shreveport, which the UCLA report describes as \u201cevidence of possible mitigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p
