EU Parliament votes to tackle methane – including the ‘invisible’ emissions from energy imports
The European Parliament today (9 May) voted on a critical piece of climate legislation in the form of the EU Methane Regulation
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
The European Commission today (14 October) released its long-awaited EU Strategy to Reduce Methane Emissions in the struggle against global warming – but it must supplement its limited commitments in the energy sector while also addressing its near complete omission of the petrochemical industry
