A series of underwater explosions that ruptured the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022 caused the largest known methane leak on record from a single incident, according to new research published on Wednesday.

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.

The mysterious Nord Stream pipeline explosions sent methane levels in the Baltic Sea rocketing to 1,000 times higher than normal, a new study has revealed, as fears grow over underwater sabotage linked to Russia.

Up to 485,000 tonnes of the greenhouse gas seeped from the Nord Stream pipeline network following a series of explosions in 2022.

A major leak of a greenhouse gas from the Nord Stream pipeline was far more significant than first realised, according to new research involving scientists from the University of Leeds.
