High-res satellite data shows methane plumes repeatedly coming from mine systems — ventilation shafts, degasification equipment & other infrastructure.
GMET’s update links these detections with mine-level mitigation data to show where action is missing.

We interrupt tonight’s show to bring you the end of the football………
Well done to the crew for the quick pivot on setlist, video, audio and confetti too to make a great moment

Spain needs to add wind energy capacity at a much faster pace or it risks missing its ambitious 2030 target, the U.S.-based Global Energy Monitor (GEM) think-tank said in a report published on Wednesday. reut.rs/4aU5vaY reut.rs/4aU5vaY

🚨 #SoutheastAsia plans to invest US$220 billion in gas-fired power & #LNG import capacity, defying the urgent need for a clean energy transition.
Yet the region could meet growing energy needs through renewable sources.

A new report from Climate TRACE member org @GlobalEnergyMon shows that new fossil fuel projects around the world could add 2.4 million metric tons of #methane emissions annually.
157 countries + EU pledged to cut global methane emissions by 30% w/#GlobalMethanePledge.
W/new fields in development, Saudi Arabia, Guyana, the U.S. and others would need to make significant cuts in other sectors or enhance methane abatement

The global "oil and gas system" is a big abstract idea. But it's built out of real stuff - pieces of infrastructure with corporate owners who plan to build even more. We've tracked it. We've mapped it. It's all free. Come check it out April 4! @GlobalEnergyMon
SAVE THE DATE | Don't miss out on our upcoming webinar walking through the Global Oil & Gas Extraction Tracker and exploring its role in shaping industry insights.

A esta altura no se justifica más extracción de carbón, especialmente si eso podría duplicar las emisiones de metano de un país como Colombia que se ha comprometido a rebajar esas emisiones. Gran informe de @GlobalEnergyMon @rydriskelltate
Según un informe de abril de 2023 de la organización no gubernamental Global Energy Monitor, de confirmarse la activación de los yacimientos de Yildirim y de los que explotaba Prodeco, se duplicarían las emisiones de metano en Colombia. 3/8 es.mongabay.com/2023/05/mina…
