Why methane?
Why methane?
Although it doesn’t get the headlines that CO2 attracts, methane is one of the biggest causes of climate change around the world.
80x
Methane emissions are 80x more damaging than CO2 in the short term.
70%
But technology already exists that could cut methane emissions by 70%.
#1
The EU is the world’s largest importer of natural gas and one of the top importers of oil.
0.3C
Smart regulations in the EU could both clean up European methane emissions and have a ripple effect in countries that export their oil and gas to the EU. Reducing methane from oil and gas and other sectors around the world would prevent nearly 0.3C of warming by the 2040s.

Low-hanging fruit that we can solve this decade.
Oil and gas is the most easily solvable slice of global methane emissions.
When you hear ‘methane emissions’ you may immediately think of agriculture and livestock. While those are significant, they are often much more difficult to mitigate. As a priority, we’re focused on the quickest possible mitigation strategies. And that means smarter regulations for the oil and gas sector.
Smart policies could be instrumental to cutting methane emissions
The solutions are simple, easy, and cost-effect. We just need proper implementation.

The way that oil and gas gets to most Europeans is complex,
so we broke it down into three stages.

Exploration and Production
Midstream
Transmission and Storage
