The International Energy Agency (IEA) published on Wednesday its 2022 Global Methane Tracker report, indicating that methane emissions from the global energy sector are 70% higher than official figures, with the coal sector identified as the largest single source.
According to the IEA’s statistics, the energy industry accounts for roughly 40% of human-caused methane emissions. The Paris-based watchdog suggested in the report that governments needed to scale up its monitoring efforts and policy measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
