Communication on EU Methane Strategy
MEDDELANDE FRÅN KOMMISSIONEN TILL EUROPAPARLAMENTET, RÅDET, EUROPEISKA EKONOMISKA OCH SOCIALA KOMMITTÉN SAMT REGIONKOMMITTÉN om en EU-strategi för att minska metanutsläppen
- 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.
