Members of the European Parliament today adopted the EU Methane Regulation, the first ever EU legislation to target this super-pollutant in the energy sector.
The European Parliament today (9 May) voted on a critical piece of climate legislation in the form of the EU Methane Regulation
The European Union’s aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 per cent by 2030 is being significantly undermined by its status as one of the world’s biggest drivers of global methane emissions
Methane emissions resulting from the petrochemical industry’s extraction and production of coal, gas and oil are responsible for 25 per cent of overall global warming – but a new Methane Regulation unveiled today by the European Commission is a half-hearted step back from EU climate goals
Leading environmental groups have today called on European Commissioners to address methane emissions from imports of oil, gas and coal in the upcoming EU methane legislation, which is expected to be proposed in December 2021
