US, Qatar Urge EU to Ease Methane Rules as Exporters Warn of Energy Security Threat
2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23
Summary
The US, Qatar and other natural-gas exporters asked the EU in a letter to soften pending methane-emissions rules and adopt a more “pragmatic approach.”
The exporters said the current framework needs clarification and changes so European buyers can keep securing oil and gas supplies.
Their warning frames the methane rules not just as a climate-compliance issue but as a potential risk to the bloc’s energy security.
