Capterio launches report showcasing country-based performance on flaring and methane

Today, coinciding with the opening of the world’s largest gas conference, Gastech – and in advance of New York Climate Week – Capterio launches a new report that showcases country-based performance on flaring and methane.

Our analysis highlights a very wide range in performance between countries on both an absolute and relative basis. But equally, we highlight the impact of different choices for the formulation of different “methane intensity” metrics.

One of the most relevant charts in the context of the EU Methane Regulation is below. The “methane intensity” of gas imported into Europe varies materially both between countries and between different metrics. This raises important questions for policy makers.
