Launched at CoP26 in 2021, the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) is the first global initiative focused on reducing emissions of methane - a super-pollutant responsible for about one-third of current warming.

Methane, the second most important greenhouse gas (GHG), is responsible for a third of the global warming that has taken place so far. Over a 20 year period, it is 80+ times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2). Beyond its climate impact, methane emissions also result in air pollution by forming […]

Methane emissions remain overlooked in the EU and to highlight this issue, EIA has now co-created the Methane Matters coalition, together with experienced European NGOs

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 Regulation on methane emissions reductions in the energy sector (the ‘EU Methane Regulation’) will require the oil, gas and coal industries to reduce methane emissions through a package of monitoring and mitigation measures in the EU and, in the future, across the supply chain.

Policymakers from the European Union have reached a political agreement on the EU Methane Regulation, including partial measures on the heavily debated issue of fossil fuel imports.
