CATF joins 28 organisations urging the European Commission to hold the line against attempts to weaken the EU Methane Regulation – a robust policy that cuts #methane pollution across the globe and strengthens European energy security. www.catf.us/resource/joi...

As one of the largest industrial sectors in the EU, the chemicals sector is facing acute structural pressure. A historic lack of capital investment in asset modernisation, global competition, and comparatively high energy and feedstock costs have collectively eroded Europe’s global market share.

#Methane pollution from landfills remain one of the largest sources of global waste emissions. These emissions are expected to grow as waste volumes increase rapidly, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where waste management systems are often underdeveloped.

Voluntary carbon markets alone were never meant to scale carbon dioxide removal to the levels needed to meet climate goals.

Substantial #methane emissions reductions are achievable in 9 major oil and gas producing countries in Africa and Latin America using existing technologies, and in many cases at a relatively low cost. A new CATF + Carbon Limits report shows how👇 www.catf.us/2026/06/new-...
