Methane emissions from the energy sector remain at historic highs, fueling the climate crisis. Some countries, such as the US, Canada and EU members, have already approved plans to reduce leaks of this powerful greenhouse gas.
In 2021, an alliance of one hundred countries was forged that committed to reducing global emissions of this compound by 30% in 2030. If the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement is to be met, a “75% reduction in emissions is needed” of methane from fossil fuels by 2030.
