In Southeast Asia, efforts to reduce methane emissions, a main contributor to global warming, should focus on the agriculture, and the oil and gas sectors, say climate change researchers.

Two sectors stand out for the region: Agriculture and the oil and gas sector. The former is the largest methane contributor while the latter is considered a"low-hanging fruit".

However, the same strategy in Central Java only yielded 12 to 14 per cent reductions. A regional comparative analysis across experimental sites would help develop site-specific guidance. In order to make a significant dent, producers need to invest in all available mitigation technology across the entire value chain, affecting 75 per cent of oil and gas methane emissions, which is still a drop in the ocean to achieving the Methane Pledge.
