Global Methane Tracker 2023

Methane is responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the Industrial Revolution, and rapid and sustained reductions in methane emissions are key to limiting near-term global warming and improving air quality. The energy sector – including oil, natural gas, coal and bioenergy – accounts for nearly 40% of methane emissions from human activity. The IEA’s Global Methane Tracker is an indispensable tool in the fight to bring down emissions from across ...

International methane emissions observatory 2024 report

Human-caused methane emissions are responsible for roughly one-third of the planet’s current warming. Reducing these emissions is the fastest, most cost-effective way to slow global warming in the near-term—and is essential to averting critical climate damages. The fourth edition of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) publication, An Eye on Methane: Invisible but not unseen, takes stock of the progress made ...

Natural Gas Solutions

Natural gas is an important part of the world’s energy supply. From feedstock for production processes to generating electrical power, the transportation, distribution, storage, and processing of natural gas has a global impact. Natural gas must meet specific requirements as it relates to heating value, hydrocarbon dew point, and the concentration of various contaminants. The quality of natural gas can be impacted by contaminants, such as water vapor, sulfur-based compounds, ...

OGCI sets out roadmap to decarbonise refining

A new study from the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) has identified a pathway to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the refining sector by using low-carbon electricity instead of fossil fuels to power some equipment. Decarbonising the downstream sector, which includes refineries and chemical facilities, will play an important role in reaching a net zero emissions future. It also forms a key pillar of OGCI’s strategy to reach net zero emissions from ...
