MEPs have outspokenly supported strong methane action, and policymakers can help strengthen the proposal. Some of the main amendments we'll be looking for π
1. Step up methane monitoring + reporting.
Europe must monitor methane emissions based on direct measurement and in line with OGMP 2.0 standards.
Innovations like @MethaneSAT will support these efforts and boost climate transparency and accountability.

2. Plug methane leaks.
Many methane emissions from oil and gas stem from persistent leaks. To #CutMethaneEU, Europe needs to enforce leak detection and repair requirements in line with best international practice.

3. End venting and flaring.
Venting and flaring fossil gas releases #methane into the atmosphere. Capturing the billions of cubic metres of fossil gas wasted through venting and flaring would help reduce dependency on Russian oil and gas.

4. Limit #methane in imported gas.
Europeβs external methane emissions footprint is up to 8x larger than its domestic footprint, so any plan that does not address imports is a lost opportunity.
