In this episode of FSR debates, we will look at a new tool designed by the UNEP International Methane Emissions Observatory for addressing climate warming. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas responsible for over one-quarter of the climate warming we are experiencing today.
While emissions associated with fossil fuel sector have the greatest potential for cost-effective mitigation, global methane emissions from the energy sector continued to increase reaching 135 million tonnes in 2022, according to the 2023 edition of the flagship International Energy Agency’s (IEA) publication – Global Methane Tracker. The single largest methane release into the atmosphere by explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline last year is what normal oil and gas operations around the world release every single day. Timely detection and reduction of large emission sources is one of the most cost-effective methane reduction strategies.
