EU Methane Regulations. The EU Methane Regulation (EU/2024/1787), effective from August 4, 2024, marks a significant step in the EU’s strategy to reduce methane emissions from the energy sector. Its key objectives are to eliminate avoidable methane releases and minimize leaks in both the EU and its global supply chains. The regulation introduces several measures, including improved methane measurement, reporting, and verification protocols, and mandates leak detection and repair (LDAR) practices. It also bans venting and flaring, allowing such practices only under specific, exceptional circumstances.
