Episode Synopsis

So if methane is this big a problem, what tools do we have, and are we using, to solve it? The first global agreement that methane was a problem came in the form of the Global Methane Pledge announced at COP26 at Glasgow in 2021. What’s happened since then, especially in the industry with the easiest to abate emissions: oil and gas?We look at the International Methane Emissions Observatory, the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership, the new EU regulation on methane and proposals for financial instruments to help bring emissions down.Host: The show is presented by: Francesca FazeyAffiliation:The show is brought to you by: The 2Celsius AssociationContributors:Raul Cazan, Founder of The 2Celsius Association, Bucharest, RomaniaKim O’Dowd, Campaigner at The Environmental Investigation Agency, London, UKDr Roland Kupers, Global Advisor to the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsDeborah Gordon, Senior Fellow, Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, Brown University; Senior Principal at the Rocky Mountain Institute’s (RMI) Climate Intelligence Program, Washington DC, USADr Philippe Ciais, Associate Director, Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL), Paris, FranceThéophile Humann-Guilleminot, Campaign Manager, Clean Air Task Force ,Athens GreeceDr Dave Lowry, Reader: Stable Isotope and Greenhouse Gas, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Royal Holloway, London UKDr Rebecca Fisher: Reader: Atmospheric Methane, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Royal Holloway, London UKDr Thoman Roeckmann, Professor of Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry, Utrecht University, The NetherlandsProfessor Jonathan Stern, Distinguished Research Fellow, The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, Oxford, UKMelanie Kenderdine, Principal, Energy Futures Initiative, Washington DC, USA
