The EU Methane Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 entered into force on August 4, 2024, aiming to reduce methane emissions in the energy sector within the EU and across global supply chains. The regulation mandates measurement, reporting, and verification of methane emissions, bans routine venting and flaring, requires leak detection and repair in oil and gas facilities, and introduces a methane transparency database for emissions from EU operators and importers.
