Emissions

As regulatory scrutiny and operational costs continue to rise in the oil and gas sector, many operators are adopting predictive corrosion monitoring, writes Dauren Kazimbek from SMARTCORR.

A growing number of countries have committed to reducing methane emissions, but emissions plateaued in 2025 with “no sign” of a global reduction, the IEA said in a new report.

At a time of turmoil in global gas markets, the EC has said it won’t change its Methane Regulation but may introduce “flexibilities.”

A new study sheds light on the millions of Americans that are living in the shadow of fossil fuel infrastructure and the potential health hazards of residing in such close proximity.

Methane emissions are rising, but the outlook is improving, said a new report launched by the UN Environment Programme at COP30.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Norway must fully account for emissions from oil and gas projects, including downstream emissions. Experts call it a “game changer” and may make it much more difficult for oil and gas projects to move forward in Europe.

State-owned JBIC was responsible for 408 million tons of CO2-equivalent in 2024, more than France, a new report has found.

COP30, which began yesterday in the heart of the Amazon, must “hit the accelerator for people, prosperity, and the planet,” stressed the UN’s Simon Stiell at the opening.

The Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) closed on Thursday with a mixed outlook on the future of the energy industry.

Methane regulation around the world is still significantly lacking, but signs of progress with mitigation are hopeful, industry experts said on the second day of ADIPEC.

Inefficiencies in compressed air systems result in significant, avoidable emissions, writes Jeffry Kahn, President of CAM Technologies.

Civil society groups are challenging Shell’s NCUD offshore project, warning that South Africa may be overstating gas as an energy lifeline and locking itself into costly fossil fuel dependence.

Higher methane emissions from gas infrastructure have negated much of U.S. climate progress in the past two decades. “Gas is a lot worse than I think is widely understood,” the author of a new study says.

Emissions-sensing satellites are among the pioneering technologies that have started to remodel the oil and gas sector, writes Kenzie Huffman, Director of Partnerships at Carbon Mapper, the California-based NGO.

Europe eyes a “simplification” of its Methane Regulation to speed up LNG imports. But experts say U.S. LNG dependency would not enhance energy security, and weakening rules would only lead to higher emissions.
