IEA: Methane Reduction Measures Could Deliver 200 Billion Cubic Metres of Gas Annually
Methane emissions from the energy sector remained at extremely high levels during 2025, with no clear signs of a global decline, warns the latest report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). However, the same analysis shows that solutions exist –…
Methane from Abandoned Mines Remains a Climate Challenge for Europe
Europe is taking numerous steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but some of them do not mean that the problem is truly solved. More and more coal mines are being closed, yet methane from abandoned mines continues to quietly escape…
UNEP, Australia Announce Landmark Study to Improve Understanding of Coal and Steel Sector Methane Emissions
The UN Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), with the support of Australia, today launched a new research project aimed at improving the accuracy of methane emissions data from coal mines. The study will be the first of its…
UNEP Reports: Methane Leak Following Nord Stream Explosions Among Largest in History
Nord Stream refers to the underwater pipeline system transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe, spanning 1,200 kilometers beneath the Baltic Sea. This system directly connected Russian gas resources with European markets, bypassing transit countries and delivering gas directly to…
