The Biden administration announced plans to significantly tighten regulations against methane emissions from domestic oil and gas drilling at COP27, building on greater efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Methane accounts for a much smaller percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions than carbon dioxide , but methane’s molecular structure makes it able to trap more heat in the atmosphere per molecule than CO2. This makes methane a significant driver of short-term warming.responsible for more than 25% of global warmingMicrobes emit the gas in low-oxygen environments, but methane is also released into the atmosphere when coal, oil and natural gas are mined and transported.

Environmental groups praised the announcement, saying it helps reinforce the country’s commitment to fight climate change. Caitlin Miller, an attorney at the environmental nonprofit Earthjustice, said the proposed standards will help hold fossil fuel companies accountable. The Biden administration announced its plan to reduce methane emissions in November 2021 at the last U.N. Climate Change Conference. The EPA spent the past year soliciting public comments and feedback from the industry.
