(1) The @IEA's World Energy Outlook 2022 is out! #WEO22
The report highlights harmful venting and flaring that, if stopped, could positively contribute to energy security in a time of crisis.
Here are some key takeaways 👇
(2) The annual capacity of #Nordstream1 leaked every year
Flaring, venting and leaks are wasting gas that could be exported to the EU, at a rate equivalent to a year's capacity of the Nord Stream I pipeline. That’s 1/3 of the total gas Europe received from Russia in 2021 🤯
MEPs have outspokenly supported strong methane action, and policymakers can help strengthen the proposal. Some of the main amendments we'll be looking for 👇
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.
