🟢 New science: In 2019, researchers set out across southern Romania to measure #MethaneEmissions from oil and gas infrastructure — and what they found was striking. 🧵

🌍 Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay, and the world is convening in South Korea to #BeatPlasticPollution. 🧵

🛰️ NEW SCIENCE: By pairing observations from two different satellite instruments, scientists have unlocked new capabilities in detecting and monitoring large #MethaneEmissions. 🧵

Very proud of the @UNEP @MethaneData team at EGU25

Nord Stream’s methane leak was worse than previously thought. A new UNEP @MethaneData study, published in ‌@Nature, finds that the explosion released up to 485,000 tonnes of methane—more than what 8 million cars would emit in a year. #CutMethane unep.org/news-and-stori…

@UNEP's IMEO led a global team of nearly 70 scientists from over 30 research teams to uncover new insights on the world’s single largest methane leak. 🚨 They found that emissions were in fact nearly double some initial estimates. 🔗 unep.org/news-and-stori…

🟢 New science in @Nature Magazine reveals the true scope of the 2022 #NordStream pipeline leak, the largest single release of methane ever recorded. 🧵

🔴 @UNEP's IMEO Methane Alert and Response System (MARS) has delivered significant #methane reductions – but greater engagement is needed from companies and governments to scale progress. 🧵

Now online: @MethaneData’s latest “An Eye on Methane Report: Invisible, but not unseen” takes stock of progress in harnessing a data revolution that can #CutMethane on a global scale. unep.org/resources/eye-… #COP29

We are thrilled to announce that IMEO has won @UNEP’s Kipepeo Award in the Innovation Category! A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team, partners and everyone committed to this vital mission to #CutMethane! Learn more: lnkd.in/dxv4VUR9

@UNEP @CarbonLimitsAS @MaBaransk @gpassalaris ➡️ This week, we're bringing together experts from industry, government and civil society together to focus on building capacity for #methane measurement and mitigation in #Nigeria's oil and gas sector.

🔜@UNEP’s IMEO workshop on methane mitigation for the oil & gas sector. 📍Nigeria ℹ️Decision-makers, regulators, and asset (site) managers will gather to discuss practical issues and solutions to #CutMethane in #Nigeria’s oil and gas industry. 🔗unep.org/events/unep-ev…

🟢New #report from CLEAN shows an overwhelming majority of Japanese and Korean liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports are covered by OGMP 2.0 methane emission reporting. 🧵

@BakuClimateWeek @giuferrini 🟢At #BCAW @giuferrini of @UNEP's OGMP 2.0: 🗣️"Credible data is critical to ensuring transparency & accountability in methane mitigation efforts". ➡️OGMP 2.0’s measurement-based reporting framework is empowering the sector to #CutMethane. bakuclimateactionweek.org/en/events-prog… #COP29

Happening at @BakuClimateWeek: "The Science of Methane" 📅 3 Oct ℹ️ Learn about methane science, measurement challenges, & its role in global warming. ➡️ IMEO's mission is to advance the state of methane science and data to enable climate action. #COP29 unep.org/events/confere…

🌍 The @IEA, @UNEP'S IMEO, and @EnvDefenseFund have launched a framework to track and ensure measurable progress on methane reductions in the oil and gas sector. ➡️ Companies must make good on promises to turn commitments into credible climate action. iea.org/reports/turnin…

🚨🛰️ MARS issued multiple alerts to stop methane emissions at a site in the Gulf of Thailand, where significant emissions have occurred since 2013. @UNEP's IMEO is providing actionable data to identify major opportunities to #CutMethane. Learn more: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Good conversation with @hope_enpie to discuss the role that reducing methane emissions plays in limiting global warming in the short term. Open, actionable, and reliable data are critical to drive emissions down and ensure accountability of actions.

💥 Acting to #CutMethane from oil and gas is one of the most powerful and cost-effective levers to immediately slow global warming. 🤝 Find out how @UNEP's OGMP 2.0 empowers companies to better manage their emissions and drive progress. ogmpartnership.com

🌍 At the #G7 meeting in Italy, action to #CutMethane with data-driven solutions presented a clear path for climate progress. 📊 @UNEP's IMEO provides open, reliable, and actionable data to the individuals with the power to reduce methane emissions. unep.org/news-and-stori…
