Methane

Inquiry

The inquiry on Methane is to examine whether the UK is on track to achieve the target set out by the Global Methane Pledge, of which it is a signatory. The inquiry aims to understand the progress the UK has made in reducing domestic methane emissions across sectors including fuel supply, agriculture, and waste management. The inquiry will also explore the UK’s methane emissions in an international context and explore what UK actions on methane reduction will have greatest impact. The inquiry will examine how methane emissions are measured and monitored, and what impact reducing methane emissions will have on the climate.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Monday 15 April 2024.
