Communication on EU Methane Strategy
COMUNICACIÓN DE LA COMISIÓN AL PARLAMENTO EUROPEO, AL CONSEJO, AL COMITÉ ECONÓMICO Y SOCIAL EUROPEO Y AL COMITÉ DE LAS REGIONES sobre la estrategia de la UE para reducir las emisiones de metano
- Initiative summary:
- Methane is the second most relevant greenhouse gas, following carbon dioxide. Methane is also the second largest contributor to ground-level ozone and a significant air pollutant. The main sources of manmade methane emissions in Europe are agriculture, production, transport and use of fossil fuels, as well as waste treatment and disposal. Reducing methane emissions is therefore important in order to slow global warming and to reduce pollution.
