Big news from US Department of the Interior 📢 New rule modernizes the bonding program to reduce future orphan well burden on public lands, which account for about 10% of U.S. oil and gas production.

This rule will help ensure more wells are plugged in a timely fashion at the end of their lives 👏

New U.S. EPA standards for truck emissions are a win for clean air & public health 🌎 Margo T. Oge explains how stringent regulations will cut greenhouse gases by 60% by 2032.

Here's why today’s rubber stamping of the #Hydrogen & Decarbonised Gas Market Package by the European Parliament matters for reaching the EU’s climate goals 🇪🇺

As the EU sets its rulebook for clean hydrogen deployment to support climate & energy security goals, here’s what H2 policies must get right and why ➡️edf.org/Z62D

The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative is working to #CutMethane in emerging economies, using emerging satellite technology to make the gas visible.

EDF's Andrew Baxter adds: 'transparency is a huge incentive for folks to act.' More Financial Times: ft.com/content/ec4c8f…

Loved seeing MethaneSAT featured. Like Jon Goldstein says, MSAT is “like a smoke detector for the planet.” Its data will enable action to slow the rate of warming in this decade. It’s a solution for the future and a solution for right now.

One month ago MethaneSAT launched into orbit!🛰️

Methane has 80x the heat trapping power of CO2 – that means reducing its emissions is the quickest way to slow our impact on the climate. 🙌 MethaneSAT will spot methane from above so we can reduce that impact. ✅
