The article from CSIS discusses the European Union’s new methane rules and their potential impact on global LNG exporters. It highlights how the EU’s stringent regulations aim to curb methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain, from production to consumption. This move could pose challenges for LNG exporters worldwide, particularly those with less stringent methane control measures. The article also explores the broader implications for global energy markets and the efforts needed by LNG exporters to adapt to these new regulations.
