This report outlines a comprehensive roadmap for establishing a methane import standard within the European Union (EU). Recognizing that 90% of the gas consumed in the EU is imported, the document emphasizes the importance of addressing methane emissions associated with these imports. It discusses the necessity of such a standard, assesses legal implications, and provides initial recommendations, including the adoption of a prescriptive standard and an emission intensity standard. The report also identifies key actions and roles for stakeholders in the development and implementation of the standard.
