CATF Statement on EPA NSPS Methane Proposal
Summary
The Clean Air Task Force strongly opposes the EPA's proposal to weaken methane leak detection and repair standards for the oil and gas industry, arguing that such rollbacks will increase emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), harming public health and the climate.
Key insights
- The EPA proposal seeks to reduce the requirements for oil and gas operators to identify and fix leaks at their facilities, which CATF argues prioritizes regulatory rollbacks over public protection from air pollution.
