Energy Transfer, whose CEO is a major Trump donor, named as biggest single methane producer in new rankings

Read the Financial Times story here: Big US gas producers are methane super emitters, environmental groups’ data shows.

The International Energy Agency estimates that 70 percent of the fossil fuel sector’s methane emissions could be cut with existing technologies—many of which would save polluters money.

Farmers will be able to add Bovaer—a methane-reducing ingredient—to dairy cows' feed, potentially reducing emissions by 30%.

#Maine Legislature Passes #FoodScrapBan Will keep thousands of tons of #FoodWaste out of #landfills. March 6, 2024 "Maine’s legislature has passed a bill that would require many commercial food producers to #donate and #compost food waste rather than send it to a landfill. The bill would reduce #FoodInsecurity, save cities and towns money, and slow #ClimateChange from #methane pollution. "#ConservationLawFoundation (#CLF) released the following statement in response: "#MethanePollution is over 80 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide in driving the climate crisis,' said Nora Bosworth, #ZeroWaste attorney at CLF. 'The main culprit of this pollution is decomposing food scraps in landfills, and this bill offers a logical solution to this problem. It’s time for Maine to catch up with the rest of New England and embrace a better solution for our food waste.'" https://www.clf.org/newsroom/maine-passes-food-waste-ban/

Environmentalists fear that recent headway in curbing emissions of the planet-warming gas is now in jeopardy

There are more than 2,600 landfills across the U.S., and collectively, they leak more than 280 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year — the equivalent of 74 coal-fired plants. So why

Earthworks partnered with @gasleaksproject and @CarbonMapper satellites 🛰️ to detect methane pollution invisible to the naked eye. Dr. Dakota Raynes (they/them) - Senior Manager for Research, Policy, and Data here at Earthworks - breaks down our latest investigation, verified by the @FinancialTimes showing ‼️ 20 +‼️super-emitter events from major oil and gas facilities. With federal protections being weakened, state action is more important than ever.

The EPA has until Jan 31 to crack down on methane pollution and reverse the Biden Administration's terrible track record (so far) on fossil fuels. Biden's failures are numerous: He permitted 34% more ...
