Global Methane Reductions: The EU's Path to Climate Leadership and Multilateral Cooperation
Tackling methane emissions associated with human activity is crucial for achieving the Paris Climate goals. According to the IEA the energy sector alone contributes approximately one third of global anthropogenic methane emissions, amounting to nearly 135 million tonnes in 2022. Among the energy sector emissions, the gas sector accounts for around 30%. By addressing methane emission reductions in the gas sector, substantial progress can be made towards mitigating the impacts of climate change.
