Rules would require firms to report emissions, find and fix leaks, and limit wasteful venting and flaring
The EU has struck a deal that will force the fossil fuel industry to rein in dangerous methane pollution.
Under the proposed law, the first of its kind, coal, oil and gas companies would be required to report their methane emissions and take steps to avoid them. The measures include finding and fixing leaks, and limiting wasteful practices such as venting and flaring gas by 2027.
