Methane is much worse for the climate than carbon dioxide, and emissions continue to rise despite global efforts to control them.
arge swathes of the global oil industry will pledge to eliminate methane emissions and gas flaring by the end of the decade, the president of the COP28 climate summit said.
Global methane emissions from energy were only slightly below record high levels in 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has confirmed, arguing that there is “just no excuse” for oil and gas firms not to intervene.
