EU Approves Methane Gas Import Limits from 2030
EMISSIONS
European Union countries approved a law on Monday to impose methane emissions limits on Europe's oil and gas imports from 2030.
- From 2030, the EU will impose "maximum methane intensity values" on fossil fuels placed on the European market. The European Commission will design the exact methane limits by that date.
- Only Hungary voted against the ruling.
- The import rules are likely to hit major gas suppliers such as the U.S., Algeria and Russia.
