Methane Abatement in Developing Countries

Global methane emissions are not reducing at the scale and pace needed to limit warming to a level consistent with the Paris-aligned 1.5°C pathways. Global demand for natural gas is growing and many developing countries plan to monetise their natural gas reserves to enhance energy access support industrialisation and achieve improved development outcomes. It is therefore urgent to substantially reduce methane emissions in the production and consumption of oil and gas.
