The effects of man-made climate change become more and more obvious day by day. Scientists and international institutions agree that drastic reduction of Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction is required  to limit the global warming to below 2, preferably to 1,5 °C, compared to pre-industrial levels.

While CO2 emissions are on everybody’s lips for years, reducing methane emissions gets more and more into focus and will be a significant lever on the track to global carbon neutrality. Not only is methane more than 80 times more potent over the first two decades after its release than carbon dioxide in terms of warming the climate system, but also  methane emission in the energy sector are considered as one of the fastest and most effective ways reducing global warming. Since methane is a valuable product and, in many cases, can be sold if it is captured, it is estimated that a majority of methane emissions in the Oil/Gas industry could be avoided with measures at zero to negative net costs.

Regulation will require regular and systematic monitoring, reporting and mitigation to limit methane emissions in the years to come to meet decarbonization goals.
