methane emissions regulation

Methane emissions regulation involves set rules and standards to limit the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from industries like oil and gas, agriculture, and waste management. These regulations may require companies to monitor their emissions, implement leak detection and repair systems, and use cleaner technologies. The goal is to reduce methane's impact on climate change while encouraging responsible practices. Compliance often involves reporting emissions and sometimes industry-specific guidelines to ensure transparency and accountability in efforts to minimize environmental harm.
