The article from the Harvard Environmental & Energy Law Program examines the EPA’s authority to issue a new rule that applies to both new and existing sources of methane emissions for the first time. It highlights several key provisions of the rule, including the incorporation of advanced monitoring technologies, specific timelines and compliance requirements, and the creation of state-specific implementation plans. The article also covers the new “super-emitter” program, designed to identify and address large release events, and addresses environmental justice considerations. Additionally, it discusses the predicted costs and benefits of the rule, providing a comprehensive overview of its potential impact on both the environment and the economy.
