Proposal for a legislative act on methane emissions in the energy sector
COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THE IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT Accompanying the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/942
- Initiative summary:
- Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas contributor to climate change following carbon dioxide. The Commission is developing a strategy for the EU to reduce methane emissions to slow global warming. In this context, the Commission will develop legislative legal provisions notably regarding monitoring, reporting, verification, leak detection and repair in the energy sector in 2021, supporting thereby increased climate ambition for 2030 and the 2050 climate neutrality objective.
