Nearly 3 years after the Oil and Decarbonization Charter launched at COP28, methane reporting is improving — but implementation gaps remain.

🆕 EDF, @IEA, & @MethaneData’s #PledgestoProgress assessment finds gradual progress among companies representing 80% of global production. edf.org/media/nearly-t…

Western states can unlock cheaper electric bills and less pollution, thanks to a solution that allows clean, reliable power to flow freely where it is needed most. 💡

The EPA's own analysis shows that rolling back methane protections would do little to lower oil prices – while adding millions more tons of methane pollution.

The analysis projects just an 11-cent drop in oil prices per barrel in 2027. More via @CNBC ⬇️: cnbc.com/2026/10/29/tru…

As #COP31 opened, @UNFCCC’s @simonstiell called for slashing “super-polluting methane emissions, particularly in the oil and gas, and waste sectors.”

We agree. We know how to cut methane waste. Now it’s time to move from commitments to implementation: edf.org/cop31

🚢 Biofuels can help clean up shipping if firm sustainable standards are in place. Ahead of #MEPC85, EDF's Rohemir Ramirez Ballagas lays out steps for @IMOHQ:
- Assess feedstock's land-use risk
- Set clear rules for each risk category
- Set a baseline now tradewindsnews.com/opinion/biofue…

“Cutting methane emissions from the oil and gas industry is the fastest way to fight climate change,” EDF’s Tsion Amare told @grist.

Proposed EPA rollbacks could risk more climate pollution, wasted gas and health harms near oil and gas sites.

Rolling back EPA methane protections means more wasted American energy and harmful pollution. EDF research shows gas wasted from not enforcing methane regs could have supplied ~30M homes.

By 2035, shipping could more than double the volume of biofuels used across all sectors, per @TheICCT. Without firm standards, that demand could drive deforestation and food insecurity.

Yesterday, Donald Trump announced in Texas that he is eliminating common-sense limits on methane pollution from oil and gas wells. Our recent survey for @EnvDefenseFund shows that, in addition to being bad policy, Trump is wildly out of step with voters. Read more here: edf.org/Zu3b

The oil and gas industry has opportunities to reduce emissions while meeting Africa’s energy needs.

At Africa Energy Week, EDF’s @MarkSBrownstein highlighted how CCUS and methane mitigation can help cut emissions, recover wasted energy and support long-term decarbonization. #AEW2026

It's official: EPA has proposed to roll back the 2024 Methane Rule.

The administration claims it'll lower gas prices. It won't. These protections were never the cause.

What it will do: more wasted gas, dirtier air, faster climate change.

Since EPA stopped enforcing these protections in 2025, nearly $7B worth of American natural gas has been leaked, vented or flared.

And because methane drives ~30% of warming, this rollback speeds up climate change.

What methane waste is costing you: edf.org/national-metha…

The rollback comes just as new polling finds broad, bipartisan support for strong methane rules among likely voters across 5 oil and gas producing states.

🧵America needs more energy, not more energy waste. At a time when families are struggling with high energy bills, oil and gas operations have leaked, vented or flared more than $7B worth of gas since the Trump administration stopped enforcing methane standards... 1/6

Solutions to Africa’s energy challenges can also drive climate progress.

EDF’s @MarkSBrownstein joined the “Voices of Africa” podcast to discuss how Africa can turn methane waste into value and develop cleaner fuels to strengthen energy security and protect communities: youtube.com/watch?v=2EaQfh…

ICYMI: A new @EnvDefenseFund assessment finds producing more hydrogen will not, by itself, deliver a global climate benefit. What matters is how it’s made, how it’s used, and how its emissions are measured. Explore the full findings ➡️ bit.ly/3VmD3wu

What does it take to scale sustainable fuels responsibly?

▶️ EDF’s Lisa Dilling walked through the key questions that will shape biofuels’ role in decarbonizing aviation, shipping & other hard-to-abate sectors.

This summer, Texas experienced another year of record-breaking temps coupled with soaring electricity demand. Yet for most Texans it was a non-event. Why? Because TX has quietly become the clean energy leader of the South. See how clean energy powered Texas this summer:
