Economic uncertainty, high energy prices and concerns over security of supply, which would have led to emissions cuts in 2022, were ineffective as methane emissions remained "stubbornly high," the report said."Methane cuts are among the cheapest options to limit near-term global warming," said IEA's executive director Fatih Birol. "There is just no excuse."
Methane, which makes up natural gas, can escape into the air from oil and gas infrastructure. Fossil fuel companies may also flare or burn off excess gas that can release methane into the atmosphere. The report said that the energy sector accounts for around 40% of the total average methane emissions from human activity, second to agriculture, and is responsible for 135 million tons of methane released into the atmosphere last year.
Limiting emissions from coal mines -- another source of methane -- by reducing coal consumption was also highlighted in the report. A toolkit and regulatory roadmap for policymakers and industry on coal methane reductions has been developed by the IEA.
I keeps seeing ctv in posts. I guess this is Trudeaus censorship bill. Propaganda is lame. I'm not going to block but call out your propaganda on every post
Even if a nuclear explosion took place(God Forbid) the US government wouldn't even be concerned.
I'm more worried about the chemicals that were set on fire in Ohio....
Why don't you talk about Ohio
More climate change propaganda 🙄
Foreign energy chief wants Canada to be desperate for energy at a time when We have a huge supply.

the US sabotaging Nordstream pipeline was an environmental disaster .. Tons of methane released into the Baltic Sea and polluting the tributaries.. This is crimes against humanity.. US must be held to account
