The oil and gas sector is the world's second largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions, accounting for 21% of the global total. Every year, oil and gas companies around the world leak, flare, and vent billions of dollars worth of methane-containing natural gas during oil and gas production, processing, and transportation. The increasing availability of low-cost methane mitigation technology in the oil and gas sector creates an unparalleled opportunity to slow the rate of global warming and reduce warming in our lifetimes.
