Scaling ambition to
Providing access to energy, whilst addressing global climate change, is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
Natural gas plays a major role in meeting global energy demand today. Since natural gas consists of mainly methane, a potent greenhouse gas, its part in the energy transition will be influenced by the extent to which the oil and gas industry reduces its methane emissions.
In 2017, a set of Methane Guiding Principles were developed collaboratively by a coalition of industry, international institutions, non-governmental organisations and academics. They focus on areas of action to reduce methane emissions.
The Methane Guiding Principles
The Methane Guiding Principles focus on reducing methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain.
Who we are
We are a coalition of industry, international institutions,
non-governmental organisations and academics.
Best Practice Guides
We have developed eight Best Practice Guides to improve performance in methane emissions management across the natural gas supply chain.
Best Practice Toolkit
A set of tools have been created to support the reduction in methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain. These include a Methane Cost Model and a Gap Assessment Tool.
