Project description

The European Union consumed 527 bcm of natural gas in 2017. While part of it was produced within those borders, nearly 80% was imported from other countries. The methane emissions of imported natural gas varies greatly across countries and companies.

Carbon Limits performed an analysis to estimate the methane emissions of the gas imported to the EU. 

The project team developed a model to assess the methane emissions along the import routes to Europe and developed a two pagers intended to regulator in the EU to provide a robust basis for the policy dialogue
