The European Parliament today (9 May) voted on a critical piece of climate legislation in the form of the EU Methane Regulation
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
The European Parliament has voted today an ambitious own-initiative report on the EU Methane Strategy, supporting the expectations from leading environmental groups.
