CAN METHANE EMISSIONS MATCH CLIMATE GOALS BY 2030
Last year was marked by record-high methane emissions from the energy sector. However, the end of the year brought the United Nations Conference on Climate Change 2023 (COP28) and the pledges that...
HOW CAN SATELLITES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REDUCE METHANE EMISSIONS?
Although it seems that in the fight against the climate crisis, the strongest focus is on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, last year's UN Conference on Climate Change showed that there is a...
Holding the oil and gas sector accountable to methane promises
Much of the world has felt the sting of climate change this year although, as ever, the poor and vulnerable have suffered the most.
This climate chaos has arrived at estimated global average...
Urgent action to cut methane emissions from fossil fuel operations essential to achieve global climate targets
Decisive, far-reaching efforts to cut methane emissions from fossil fuel production and use must go hand-in-hand with decarbonisation of our energy systems to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, according to a...
Nord Stream Methane Leaks are ‘World’s Worst’ – What Does it Mean for Climate Change?
Methane is one of Earth’s most dangerous gases for climate change. And record levels of it are thought to be leaking into the atmosphere from four ruptures in the Nord Stream 1 and...
How Secretive Methane Leaks are Driving Climate Change
Massive methane leaks, known as super-emitter events, have been taking place at oil and gas fields all over the world, from the United States to Turkmenistan. The releases, most of which can...
New Global Methane Pledge Aims to Tackle Climate Change
A new joint agreement by the European Union and the United States to cut global methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030 could mark a crucial step in tackling climate change and...
