One of the world's largest energy companies just proved that massive emissions cuts are possible even while growing production. TotalEnergies slashed its methane emissions by nearly two-thirds since 2020.
A Calgary cleantech startup has eliminated one million metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent by replacing methane with liquid nitrogen at oil and gas facilities. The simple solution now prevents more methane daily than many technologies eliminate in a year.
Kenyan lawmakers are drafting the country's first legislation specifically targeting methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over 20 years. Scientists say improving livestock feed could boost milk production by 30% while cutting emissions by 15%.
Canada's federal government and Alberta have agreed on an ambitious plan to slash methane emissions from oil and gas by 75% by 2035. The deal gives Alberta control over its own regulations while meeting national climate goals.
California's PG&E just achieved its 2030 climate goal five years ahead of schedule, cutting methane emissions from its gas pipeline system by 60%. The breakthrough shows how focusing on the biggest leaks first can deliver massive environmental wins.
Scientists have identified one of the fastest ways to slow climate change and save lives: cutting methane emissions from oil and gas operations. The best part? Most of it can be done with technology we already have.
South Korean researchers created a natural feed additive from garlic, oregano, and monolaurin that reduces methane emissions from cattle by over 14 percent. If commercialized, it could eliminate 520,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually while keeping cows healthy.
The UN confirms that reducing methane from fossil fuels requires little to no cost while delivering immediate climate benefits. Officials are calling for rapid implementation of proven solutions, especially in top-emitting countries.
Six African nations now have a clear roadmap to slash methane emissions from oil and gas operations using technologies that already exist. Algeria and Nigeria could eliminate over 1.4 million tons of methane annually while potentially earning money back through recovered gas sales.
Australian scientists just cracked a 20-year puzzle that's been stumping engineers worldwide: how to eliminate methane pollution from coal mines without burning extra fuel. The breakthrough could slash 15% of Australia's total methane emissions by 2030.
New satellite tracking shows cow manure digesters are slashing methane emissions across 98 California dairies. The climate win comes with a catch: when these systems leak, they release methane at ten times the rate of traditional storage.
Senegal is taking bold action against climate change with a new national plan targeting methane and short-lived climate pollutants. The West African nation is strengthening its environmental ministry's capacity to identify pollution sources and develop solutions through 2027.
A powerful new satellite will monitor methane leaks across five times more area than current technology, helping pinpoint major pollution sources. The breakthrough could transform how we find and fix greenhouse gas leaks around the world.
Researchers discovered the "hydrogenobody," a tiny structure in cow gut microbes that drives methane production. The breakthrough could help slash greenhouse gas emissions from one of agriculture's biggest climate contributors.
New satellites are helping Egypt's oil and gas sector spot methane leaks from space, turning what once took weeks of ground inspections into near real-time detection. The technology is already identifying emission hotspots across the country's vast energy operations, helping companies fix leaks faster while protecting the climate.
A new climate prize is putting $200,000 toward solutions that tackle methane emissions from food and waste systems. The gas traps 85% more heat than CO2 but breaks down faster, making it a powerful target for quick climate wins.
Harvard researchers found that plugging methane leaks in oil and gas pipelines costs a fraction of other climate solutions and keeps more sellable gas in the system. Companies can cut emissions in half while actually making money on recovered product.
Squamish, British Columbia is proving small towns can make a big climate impact. Thanks to innovative methane capture and green building codes, this growing community is on pace to slash emissions while its population expands.
Australian cattle farmers are becoming climate heroes using a native red seaweed that slashes livestock methane emissions by up to 80 percent. The breakthrough feed supplement turns one of agriculture's biggest emissions challenges into a practical solution.
One of Europe's largest energy companies just proved you can grow your business while dramatically cutting emissions. TotalEnergies exceeded every major climate target it set, slashing methane by 65% and total operational emissions by 38%.
