President Joe Biden's administration will toughen a proposed crackdown on methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas industry by requiring drillers to fix all leaks, not just the biggest, the U.S. EPA said

2021 methane rule

The EPA last year announced a proposal to address the problem by requiring oil and gas operators to monitor 300,000 of its biggest well sites quarterly to find and fix leaks. The EPA will take public input on the rule until Feb. 13, 2023 and plans to finalize it by the end of the year. The rule could be undone if a Republican wins the 2024 presidential election and decides to reverse it.
