COP28: Calls for more nuclear and less 'destructive' methane

Washington has announced it will tighten curbs on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. The new standards would phase in eliminating routine flaring of natural gas produced by oil wells and require comprehensive monitoring of methane leaks from wells and compression stations. Methane emissions also come from the agriculture sector, with cows and sheep releasing the gas during digestion and in their manure.
