Methane emissions from the oil and gas industry are triple current estimates. A new study, published in Nature, using aerial data reveals that fossil fuel extraction and processing are responsible for far more methane than previously believed. eos.org/articles/metha…

European Parliament last week adopted a provisional political agreement with EU countries on a new law to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector, with 530 votes in favour, 63 against and 28 abstentions. Read more about the new rules here. europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-…

On Monday, @EnvDefenseFund launched a satellite on a @SpaceX rocket that will bring a new level of detail and accuracy to the measurement of global methane emissions. Michael R. Bloomberg, the founder of Bloomberg LP, is one of the project's supporters. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Satellites set to launch in 2024 will dramatically increase the international community’s ability to detect atmospheric methane. Still, far more data will be needed to reach international goals to curb emissions. spacenews.com/international-…

Aircraft-based mass balance estimate of methane emissions from offshore gas facilities in the southern North Sea: In this study, researchers find that all the inventories, except for the operator-based facility-level reporting, underestimate emissions. acp.copernicus.org/articles/24/10…

.@EPA sets out rules for proposed 'methane fee' for waste generated by oil and natural gas companies. Oil and natural gas companies for the first time would have to pay a fee for methane emissions that exceed certain levels. energycapitalhtx.com/methane-fee-ep…

Observed methane releases from global oil and gas operations are 30% higher than what countries estimate in reports to the UN, according to a new study that analyzed satellite observations of the potent greenhouse gas. bnnbloomberg.ca/methane-from-o…

💪 Accountability meets ambition at #COP28UAE 📈 @BloombergDotOrg commits $40M to track and drive action to #CutMethane from oil and gas. 🛰️ @UNEP’s IMEO will partner with @EnvDefenseFund, @IEA and others to deliver transparency via real-world data. bit.ly/47UEAeF

Fifty oil companies - such as Saudi Aramco, Petrobras and Sonangol as well as Shell, TotalEnergies and BP - representing nearly half of global production have pledged to reach near-zero methane emissions and end routine flaring in their operations by 2030. aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/2…

Scientists at @EASACnews have called for COP28 to agree on a "substantial strengthening" of the methane pledge, with a formalised reduction target of around 60 percent in the energy sector, in line with recent EU regulations. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

The EU Council and the Parliament today reached a provisional political agreement on a regulation on tracking and reducing methane emissions in the energy sector. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…

Methane emissions reduction can be very cost-efficient. For instance, in Poland, 21% of methane from underground mines could be mitigated profitably, and a further 44% at low cost.

The European Commission has proposed imposing methane emissions limits on EU gas imports from 2030, a move that would pressure the bloc's international fossil fuel suppliers, including the U.S., to cut leaks of the potent planet-warming gas. reuters.com/sustainability…

The International Energy Agency @IEA's World Energy Outlook 2023 proposes a global strategy for getting the world on track by 2030 that consists of five key pillars. One of them is slashing methane emissions from fossil fuel operations by 75%. iea.org/news/the-energ…

News from @CANMILK_project! 🌱🐄 Our partners @VTTFinland and @Valio_Ltd conducted two #measurement campaigns in a #dairy barn in southern #Finland this year, with the help of @AeromonInfo 👉Check out the article here: t1p.de/tqgvl

California announced the launch of a new climate initiative that will recruit subnational governments worldwide to commit to mitigating and reducing methane, with founding signatories from Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Nigeria, and India. ww2.arb.ca.gov/news/californi…

A major UK leak of the extremely potent greenhouse gas methane has been spotted from space for the first time. The leak - seen by satellite - occurred over three months at a gas main. The amount leaked could have powered 7,500 homes for a year. bbc.com/news/science-e…

The Climate Change Tracker shows how the CH4 emissions have been rising. The Aeromon team helps the industry prevent harmful leaks by monitoring methane and other fugitive emissions. climatechangetracker.org/methane

USA announces the availability of $350 million in grants to states to monitor and cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. epa.gov/newsreleases/b…
