Methane is the main component of the natural gas countries burn in power plants and to heat homes. It is also the second-biggest cause of climate change after carbon dioxide, and fuels global warming when it escapes into the atmosphere from leaky oil and gas pipelines and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Ministers from EU countries gave their governments&#8217; final approval to the policy at a meeting in Brussels, meaning it can now enter into force. Only Hungary voted against it. From 2030, the EU will impose &#8220;maximum methane intensity values&#8221; on fossil fuels placed on the European market. The European Commission will design the exact methane limits by that date. Importers of oil and gas that flout the limit could face financial penalties.<\/p>\n<p>The rules are likely to hit major gas suppliers such as the U.S., Algeria and Russia. Moscow slashed deliveries to Europe since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine and has since been replaced as Europe&#8217;s biggest pipeline gas supplier by Norway, whose supply has among the world&#8217;s lowest methane intensity. The Biden administration &#8211; which alongside the EU has rallied countries to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030 to limit climate change &#8211; has welcomed the EU&#8217;s methane law. The U.S. last year set out its own rules requiring oil firms to limit their methane emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterworld.com\/drinking-water\/press-release\/55041804\/the-us-epa-announces-25-million-to-help-provide-clean-drinking-water-to-disadvantaged-communities\">Water World<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/eu-approves-law-to-hit-gas-imports-with-methane-emissions-limiteu-approves-law-to-hit-gas-imports-with-methane-emissions-limit\/\">EU approves law to hit gas imports with methane emissions limitEU approves law to hit gas imports with methane emissions limit<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,14692,2215,6181],"class_list":["post-130817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-gas-imports","tag-law","tag-methane-emissions"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130817\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
