Methane

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.

BP has admitted to a gas leak at the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project offshore Senegal and Mauritania, sparking environmental concerns and demands for transparency.

The EU is phasing in methane regulations for imported gas over the next few years. At CERAWeek, there was disagreement over how easy it will be to comply.

As part of the Trump administration’s deregulatory blitz, Congress scrapped a key climate policy from the Biden era.

The Nord Stream explosion resulted in the largest release of methane in history. And yet it was still a small fraction of the total methane released by the global oil and gas industry.

A powerful methane monitoring programme has identified major sources of methane pollution around the world, but only a tiny number of companies and governments have responded, the UN said at COP29.

A little-known but highly toxic greenhouse gas known as tropospheric ozone harms human health and damages crops and forests, clean air experts told COP29.

Researchers said the rising level of CO2 in the atmosphere is driving “increasingly dangerous global warming,” a stark warning on day three of COP29.

The 4th Industrial Carbon Management Forum (ICM Forum) will take place in the south of France this month, at a time when questions are being asked about the costs and effectiveness of carbon capture projects.

A new report finds that EU levies on imported methane could help clean up gas operations, but may also lead to a two-tiered global LNG market.

The landmark legislation will require companies to measure and quantify both their source- and site-level EU methane emissions for the first time.

The highly-anticipated policy will charge drillers for excess methane emissions.

While using satellite imagery to quantify methane leaks from landfill sites, PhD student Emily Dowd made a remarkable discovery.

Fifty countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia signed an official charter that stipulates reducing carbon and methane emissions.
