NGO letter against MERP repeal bill

A coalition of NGOs opposes the repeal of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) via H.R. 1141, arguing that the program's waste emissions charge and funding for mitigation are essential for climate goals, public health, and job creation.

• The signees oppose the Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act (H.R. 1141) and other repeal efforts, asserting that removing the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) would negatively impact the climate, public health, waste levels, and employment.
• The MERP's waste emissions charge (WEC) is targeted at large facilities emitting more than 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas annually, with fees only applied to emissions that exceed performance-based targets developed by the industry.
• The MERP provides $1.55 billion in funding for oil and gas operators, communities, and state agencies to implement emission controls, which the authors claim will create tens of thousands of high-paying jobs in the methane mitigation sector.
