The regulation would include required measuring, monitoring, and reporting of methane emissions from the gas, oil, and coal industries and plans to enforce action towards making necessary emissions reductions. The EU aims for methane abatement to contribute greatly to the European Green Deal goal of lowering emissions by at least 55% by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission said it is the first law in the EU to tackle methane emissions. Specifics from the proposed EU Regulation include a number of rules for reporting methane emissions and providing transparent updates on reduction activities. This includes regular surveys of equipment to check for methane leaks, bans of routine venting and flaring, and limited venting from thermal coal mines, among others. Since the EU imports much of the fossil fuel energy sources it consumes, the regulations will also address methane emissions from these supply chains. The regulation agreement includes the establishment of a methane transparency database, global methane emitters monitoring tools, and monitoring obligations for new import contracts of oil, gas, and coal starting in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas, has gained attention as a key to meeting global decarbonization targets. The gas is especially prevalent in the agricultural industry and in the fossil fuel sector, and methane emissions from the fossil fuel industry will need to account for half of overall global methane reductions, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA\u2019s 2023 World Energy Outlook explains that increased renewable energy production may contribute to a needed 75% reduction in methane emissions from fossil fuel operations. Rapid cuts in methane emissions from fossil fuels may have the same impact as taking all cars and trucks in the world off the road, says the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2023\/11\/eu-plans-legislation-to-reduce-methane-emissions-from-fossil-fuels\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-425\/\">EU Plans Legislation to Reduce Methane Emissions from Fossil Fuels<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[703,575,274,1852],"class_list":["post-118805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-methane"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118805\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
