Reducing Methane Emissions: Why, How, and How Fast?

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and reducing methane emissions across the oil and natural gas supply chain is an important part of meeting global climate goals. This week, Fiji George and Arvind Ravikumar joined my colleague Ben Cahill to help us understand why this is so important and what needs to be done to speed up emissions reductions. Fiji George is Senior Director for Climate & Sustainability at Cheniere Energy, Inc., and Dr. Arvind Ravikumar is Research Associate Professor in the Petroleum Engineering department at the University of Texas at Austin and a fellow at the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines.  Further Reading from the CSIS Project on Engaging Global Gas Players on Methane Emissions: Methane Emissions and the Gas Ecosystem: Buyers, Sellers, and Banks   Disclosure: Dr. Ravikumar’s research group at UT Austin is supported in part through funding provided by Cheniere. CSIS also receives general funding from Cheniere.
