Methane: industry wants to reduce, Turkm • Table.Briefings

Methane is a particularly climate-damaging gas – which is why the COP is working on solutions to reduce its emissions.

At COP28, progress is being made in the fight against methane emissions. The United States has adopted stricter regulation; Turkmenistan, one of the biggest polluters, joined the Global Methane Pledge. And COP President Al Jaber united dozens of companies in one initiative.

On the third day of the COP, progress was made on the regulation of methane, one of the most dangerous greenhouse gases – although so far, only with new developments and announcements. The USA presented a new regulation of the oil and gas sector. Turkmenistan, one of the largest methane emitters, has joined the Global Methane Pledge, committing to reduce emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030. And COP President Al Jaber presented an industry initiative, the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC).
