EU methane emissions regulation: a piece of the puzzle to tackle major climate threat

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for about a quarter of the global warming we experience today. With a warming potential over 80 times greater than CO₂, methane emissions reduction is crucial for limiting the climate crisis. The EU has enacted a new methane restriction, but it should be strengthened, argues Esther Bollendorff, Senior Gas Policy Coordinator, Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe.

The coming glut of gas

At London’s International Energy Week in February, speakers from the International Energy Agency (IEA), BP and Shell predicted a large increase in natural gas reaching global markets by the end of the decade. At the same time, they, and others, highlighted the importance of reducing methane emissions in producing those fossil-fuel projects, reports New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple.

Central Asia embarks on ambitious renewables drive but fossil fuels still reign

Central Asia’s five countries are mitigating climate change challenges by adopting more efficient water management practices and greener energy technologies. But regional fossil fuel usage remains high, despite all their governments’ stated goals to become carbon neutral (except gas-rich Turkmenistan), writes Naubet Bisenov.
