EU launches historic methane regulation to combat climate change
The EU has taken a monumental step in its climate action efforts with the publication of the fi rst-ever regulation aimed at reducing methane emissions. This regulation, now offi cially part of EU law, represents a signifi cant advancement in the fi ght against climate change.
Designated as EU 2024/1787, this regulation imposes stringent limits on methane emissions from fossil fuel operations within EU Member States. It also enforces these standards on imports from oil, coal, and natural gas exporters supplying the EU.
Flavia Sollazzo, Senior Director of EU Energy Transition at Environmental Defense Fund Europe (EDF Europe), remarked, “The EU’s adoption of the Methane Emissions Regulation is a monumental stride towards mitigating climate change. This ambitious regulation sets
comprehensive standards across the entire energy supply chain. As a cornerstone of the EU Green Deal, it reaffi rms the EU’s dedication to combating climate change and addressing its external methane footprint.”
Sollazzo emphasised the importance of diligent implementation, stating, “The regulation’s success depends on rigorous enforcement. The real challenge begins now: holding the industry accountable. We expect Member States to act swiftly by implementing national methane emissions reporting requirements, fi nalising import standards, and developing extensive monitoring, reporting, and verifi cation (MRV) systems.”
Helen Spence-Jackson, Executive Director at EDF Europe, added, “With technologies like MethaneSAT, we now have powerful tools for advanced monitoring and tracking. This transparency demands immediate action. Successful implementation requires collaborative efforts across all sectors. Together, we can build a comprehensive understanding of emissions and create effective solutions.”
Within six months of the regulation’s enactment, EU Member States must appoint national authorities to oversee compliance by oil, gas, and coal operators, importers, and independent verifi ers. The European Commission will introduce secondary legislation detailing the reporting methodology for methane emission intensities.
Starting January 2027, the same MRV obligations will apply to EU importers. They will need to ensure that producers measure, monitor, report, and verify methane emissions according to EU standards for all contracts with exporters.
This regulation is not only a signifi cant move for the EU but also a call for global action. By setting a high standard for methane emissions, the EU aims to inspire a worldwide shift in climate action and slow the pace of global warming.
Reducing use and improved monitoring can help tackle antimicrobial pollution from livestock, fi sh farming according to new EEA briefi ng

While the use of antimicrobial drugs in farmed animals and in aquaculture has decreased over the past few years in Europe, the on-going presence of antimicrobial residues in the environment poses risks to ecosystems and human health, according to a recently published European Environment Agency (EEA) briefi ng.
For More Info, email: email:
Expanded monitoring of antimicrobials in European waters could help better understand the effectiveness of actions to reduce the use of antimicrobial medicines according to the EEA briefi ng ‘Veterinary antimicrobials in Europe’s environment: a One Health perspective’. Such monitoring could also help identify pollution hotspots and better assess the potential impacts on humans, animals and the environment.
For More Info, email: email:
The assessment specifi cally looks at the use of antimicrobials for food-producing animals and their impact on the environment. These medicines are commonly used to prevent or treat infections in livestock and in aquaculture. They can also help treat diseases in humans and pets, however, their use can also have a negative impact on the environment and human health.
The EU has recognised that there is a need to reduce unnecessary use of antimicrobials in both humans and animals. Reducing the use in farmed animals and in aquaculture by 50% by 2030, based on 2018 levels, is explicitly included as a target in the farm to fork strategy and the zero-pollution action plan. The good news is that the use of antimicrobials in food-producing animals (farmed animals and aquaculture) has decreased by around 28% between 2018 and 2022. EU Member States can reach the 2030 target, however, they will need to continue taking action. The briefi ng notes that measures to reduce the use of antimicrobials and the need to use them in the fi rst place, in line with the zero- pollution hierarchy, are essential to prevent their release into the environment.
