The new law marks a significant milestone for the European Green Deal policy, mandating that the fossil fuel industry adhere to the highest standards for monitoring, reporting and verifying methane emissions, while also requiring oil, gas and coal companies to actively reduce their methane intensity.
The legislation's scope also includes imported fossil fuels, ensuring that non-EU exporters will gradually adhere to equivalent standards.
