International Energy Agency (IEA) has released its updated Methane Tracker: “Around the world, many countries have made reductions in methane emissions a policy priority as part of their efforts to limit near-term global warming, enhance energy security, and improve air quality. The energy sector—including oil, natural gas, coal and bioenergy—accounts for around 40% of methane emissions from human activity and has some of the best opportunities to cut these emissions.”
