MiQ buyers calculator
MiQ has developed and launched the Gas Buyers Methane Emissions Calculator, a tool designed to help natural gas buyers assess the potential methane emissions reductions associated with purchasing MiQ-certified gas. The calculator compares emissions from the production segment of MiQ-certified gas against benchmark gas, providing buyers with valuable insights into the environmental benefits of choosing […]
US LNG exports: DOE and FERC roles and boundaries
The article from CSIS examines the roles and boundaries of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in regulating U.S. LNG exports. It discusses how the DOE oversees LNG exports, focusing on its authority to grant export licenses based on public interest considerations. In contrast, FERC manages the approval process […]
US LNG export boom, defining national interests
The article from CSIS discusses the boom in U.S. LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports and its implications for defining national interests. It examines how the rapid expansion of LNG exports from the United States has transformed the country into a significant player in global energy markets. The article analyzes the economic benefits of LNG exports, […]
Geopolitical significance of US LNG
The article from CSIS analyzes the geopolitical significance of U.S. LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports on global energy markets and political dynamics. It discusses how the United States has emerged as a major LNG exporter, impacting global energy trade and geopolitical relationships. The article explores how U.S. LNG exports have diversified global energy supply sources, […]
EU methane rules: Impact for global LNG exporters
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 […]
To meet global methane goals, improve gas data
The article from CSIS focuses on the importance of improving data on methane emissions to meet global methane reduction goals. It emphasizes that accurate and comprehensive methane emissions data are crucial for effective policy-making and achieving environmental targets. The article discusses current challenges in measuring methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, highlighting gaps […]
The satellite helping slow climate change
Environmental advocate Millie Chu Baird details the heat-trapping side effects of a planet full of methane — and explains why understanding where it comes from and taking steps to reduce it is the single most important thing we can do to affect climate change in our lifetimes. (MethaneSAT is part of the Audacious Project, TED’s […]
ASEAN energy sector methane leadership program
Launched at Energy Asia 2023 in Kuala Lumpur on June 26, 2023, the MLP spans 18 months and concentrates on fostering effective methane emission management in the ASEAN O&G industry. It aims to support the Global Methane Pledge 2030 through regional collaboration, technology transfer, networking, knowledge sharing, and capacity building among oil and gas companies, […]
Coalition for LNG emission abatement toward net zero
The Coalition for LNG Emission Abatement toward Net-zero (CLEAN) project, is a collaborative international initiative focused on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane, across the LNG value chain. It is supported by the United States, South Korea, Australia, the European Commission, and Japan, and co-hosted by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) […]
Global Methane Pledge
Participants joining the Pledge agree to take voluntary actions to contribute to a collective effort to reduce global methane emissions at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030. This is a global, not a national reduction target. Participants to the Pledge also commit to moving towards using the highest tier IPCC good practice inventory […]
