The U.S. government has announced $850 million in grants to help small oil and gas producers monitor and reduce methane emissions. This initiative, part of the Inflation Reduction Act, represents the largest climate investment in history. The competitive bidding for these grants, which opened on Friday, June 21, will close on August 26. The Biden Administration aims to tackle methane, a significant climate super pollutant, while creating good-paying energy jobs and protecting air quality. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) are collaborating on this effort.
Methane emissions are one of the most damaging contributors to climate change and are largely man-made. The Biden Administration is meeting the moment by designating $850M for projects that monitor, measure, quantify and reduce methane emissions.
