Methane abatement could bring additional gas volumes to market, IEA says
The International Energy Agency says methane abatement could make about 200 billion cubic metres of natural gas available each year, including nearly 15 billion cubic metres in the near term. The agency says fossil-fuel methane emissions remained elevated in 2025 and that the Middle East crisis is highlighting the energy-security benefits of cutting leaks and flaring.
Tackling methane emissions would strengthen energy security amid crisis
The International Energy Agency says methane emissions from fossil fuels remained near record highs in 2025 and that existing abatement measures could make about 200 billion cubic metres of gas available annually. The agency says the Middle East crisis is underscoring the energy-security case for faster action.
MIT researchers map traffic emissions block by block in near real time
MIT researchers have published a new system for estimating vehicle emissions at block-level resolution using traffic cameras and anonymized mobile data. The Manhattan-tested approach, published April 2 in Nature Sustainability, found congestion pricing cut traffic volumes about 10% and emissions 16% to 22% eight weeks after launch.
