Introduction
Explore regional or country-by-country estimates of energy-related methane emissions. Compare these estimates with energy-sector estimates from other publicly available sources and with estimates of methane emissions from other human activities. For coal, oil and gas, the tracker presents detailed estimates for the abatement potential, and costs or savings, from different technology and policy options. This tool also provides a snapshot of the policy measures in place to tackle methane emissions within each country and our assessment of what greater policy action could achieve. Building on the IEA’s Policies Database, we provide a snapshot of the policy tools in place to tackle methane emissions within each country and our assessment of what greater policy action could achieve.
