This briefing assesses whether the EU Methane Regulation could undermine the EU’s security of supply and competitiveness. The available evidence does not support claims that methane standards threaten European energy supply. The EU remains a highly attractive export destination for oil and gas. Where supply risks exist, they are driven primarily by geopolitics, infrastructure constraints […]
A new model for implementation. Climate change demands urgent action on multiple fronts and tackling super pollutants is among the most powerful levers available. Super pollutants – methane, tropospheric ozone, nitrous oxide, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – are responsible for up to 45 per cent of current warming. Many are also short-lived climate pollutants […]
Closing the Gap on Super Pollutants sets out urgent priorities for UK climate policy, showing how cutting methane, F‑gases and nitrous oxide can deliver rapid climate and health benefits.
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.
EIA and six other climate campaigning organisations have issued a joint rebuttal to attempts to delay and water down a vital new regulation addressing EU methane emissions. The EU Methane Regulation, adopted in May last year, is a groundbreaking legal framework that sets out a global benchmark for methane emissions monitoring and mitigation for both […]
Cutting emissions of superpollutants provides an opportunity to more efficiently reduce greenhouse gas emissions than a focus solely on carbon dioxide. In other words, it packs a larger punch.
