This research paper examines the impact of the Angera Declaration—a global agreement signed by over 150 scientists to reduce methane emissions—on Africa. It highlights the alignment between the Declaration and existing regional initiatives like the African Clean Air Program (ACAP) and the African Methane Community of Practice (AMCoP) to catalyze sustainable growth and address the health and agricultural damages caused by methane.

This guide by RMI explains the climate and health impacts of methane, its primary sources, and strategies for reduction. It highlights the role of data and international agreements in curbing emissions and details RMI's specific tools and initiatives for monitoring and certifying low-methane gas production.

This report describes how satellite technologies are used to detect and quantify large industrial methane point sources to support the Global Methane Pledge and the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. It introduces the 'completeness' metric for comparing satellite platforms and the Satellite Point Source Emissions Completeness Tool (SPECT) to assist policymakers and industry operators in leak detection, methane accounting, and policy design.

A letter from the Centre for Environmental Rights, on behalf of Fair Finance Southern Africa (FFSA), requesting information from the Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) regarding its role in financing Karpowership, specifically in relation to proposed floating gas-to-power projects in South Africa.

RMI and major oil and gas companies (BP, Equinor, Exxon, and Shell) condemn the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) decision to end methane emissions monitoring, arguing that such monitoring is essential for the industry's viability and climate goals.

H.R. 2401, titled the 'Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation Act of 2011', is a bill that proposes the creation of a presidential committee to analyze the cumulative and incremental economic and operational impacts of specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules and actions on energy and manufacturing in the United States.

The Montreal Protocol has successfully phased out ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) to restore the ozone layer, but it failed to address the high global warming potential of ODSs and their substitutes, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The document highlights the risk of unaddressed ODS banks and the rapid rise of HFC emissions, which could account for 9-19% of global CO2-equivalent emissions by 2050 under business-as-usual scenarios.

This case study abstract describes a proposal by Sheryl Sturges to The AES Corporation to fund a reforestation project in a tropical developing country to offset carbon dioxide emissions from the Thames power plant.

A submission by Sasol to Working Group 4 and a Subcommittee dated 9 March 2009 regarding proposed emission standards and the categorization of waste incinerators under the draft Section 21 of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act in South Africa.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute explains the technical terminology, drilling methods, and operational inputs associated with the extraction of oil and natural gas from shale formations, specifically focusing on hydraulic fracturing.
