This briefing analyses what is driving the use of methane credits and the issues that accompany them. It explores the structural weaknesses inherited from carbon markets, the added challenges specific to methane, and examples from real-world projects that reveal how these systems function in practice.
This briefing identifies the three mutually reinforcing pillars of action to operationalise Paragraph 28(d) of GST-1: (i) monitoring and reporting; (ii) national action; and (iii) financial and technical assistance. Unlike the predominant approach to climate mitigation, which tend to be emissions-based, implementation of paragraph 28(d) of the GST-1 should focus on transitioning the sources of energy, from fossil fuels to renewables, across the economy through planning and investment.

Governments, parties to the Montreal Protocol and manufacturers and commercial users of these products must act to implement a transition away from all F-gases.

Despite the clear urgency to phase out fossil fuels, countries have repeatedly failed to agree on timelines and transition plans to reduce their dependence. The focus remains on curtailing smokestack and tailpipe emissions rather than reducing supply, while industry-backed terms such as “unabated” fossil fuels and “inefficient” subsidies leave the door open for continued fossil fuel production.
