The overall quality of methane data has improved, making information more actionable.

En avril, les dirigeants mondiaux de 175 pays se sont rencontrés pour signer un accord global sur le climat, conclu à Paris en décembre 2015.

En abril, líderes de 175 países se reunieron para firmar el acuerdo mundial vinculante sobre cambio climático (Acuerdo de París), firmado en París en diciembre de 2015.

Infographic that ponders the question and displays how much natural gas New Mexico is wasting.

Digitalization of the oilfield has the potential to unlock up to $1.6 trillion in value.

For the first time, a satellite can deliver a full picture of oil & gas methane emissions over wide areas currently unseen by other instruments.

On January 27, President Biden signed a sweeping executive order that included a commitment to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.

The primary objective of this study by Deloitte, commissioned by EDF, is to support the development of effective approaches to encourage methane actions by the Japanese financing sector.

Many landfills bordering American neighborhoods and commercial areas release dangerous pollution that contributes to climate change and impacts human health. An interactive map from EDF shows individual landfill location and emission levels across the United States and its territories.

Global leaders meet in New York to discuss practical strategies for tackling methane emissions and opportunities for collaboration

With emissions and flaring still near record highs, framework aims to drive progress on industry pledges

Study authored by EDF scientists synthesizes nearly a decade of research encompassing thousands of multiscale methane measurements along the oil and gas value chain to better constrain estimates of methane emissions from Canada’s energy sector and to identify research gaps contributing to uncertainty in current estimates.

Building on EDF's November 2023 Missing Methane report, which explored the oil and gas methane disclosures and policies of the six largest US banks, this report assesses key European banks actively engaged in financing oil and gas. It analyses the methane disclosures and policies of Barclays, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, ING, Société Générale and UniCredit. It identifies best practices with respect to methane disclosures and target setting and makes recommendations for engagement with oil and gas clients.

Methane management is increasingly factored into the valuation of oil and gas assets. Investors need a clear picture of updated US methane rules.

In this study, EDF and academic scientists model wellbore methane emissions using industry data in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, finding that differing model assumptions to handle unclear/missing data have a strong influence on estimated emissions.

White paper from EDF provides details on the capabilities of new technologies for detecting landfill methane – including satellites, remote sensing technologies, and drones – and describes advances at the state level.

The number of liquid natural gas export terminals along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Texas is growing. President Biden has issued a temporary pause on approvals for new facilities to better assess the risks they pose to climate and the health of local communities. 

This EDF report presents a mapping analysis that shows representations of several gas gathering pipeline systems in the United States and their federal “Class Location” categorizations. It also presents an overview of reported data on gathering pipelines, including recent safety incidents and their costs.

Methane is a potent climate pollutant. To help speed reductions, EDF scientists have conducted extensive research on methane and its impact on the climate.

This EDF paper addresses the critical nature of national oil companies (NOCs) and the IOC's non-operated joint ventures (NOJVs) and how, together, they can accelerate industry’s methane momentum.

EDF report offers an introduction to sustainable finance for methane abatement.

MethaneSAT will partner with Google to map leaks from the oil and gas industry and beyond, Nature reports.

Study by EDF scientists shows that standard frameworks used to assess the climate impacts of hydrogen production are vulnerable to broad miscalculation.

Data from MethaneSAT will help measure methane pollution from oil and gas facilities worldwide, with both a broad scope and exacting precision.

The MethaneAIR research jet is a crucial innovation in EDF’s work to find and reduce emissions of methane, a potent, planet-warming greenhouse gas.
