Methane Emissions Mitigation in China’s Energy Sector

This report by RMI outlines the scale of anthropogenic methane emissions in China's energy sector and proposes a five-dimensional strategy to mitigate these emissions through energy transition, market mechanisms, and increased transparency.

• In 2022, China's anthropogenic methane emissions were approximately 56 Mt, which represents about 15.6 percent of the global total. The energy sector is the primary source of these emissions, contributing 46 percent.
