COP27 | Global Methane Pledge scorecard: Time is Running Out

Key points
  • Overall basin-level emissions are roughly unchanged and have failed to deliver the 7% annual reduction needed to meet the Global Methane Pledge
  • Aggregate figures conceal regional disparities, notably a marked reduction in coal-related emissions from Australia’s Bowen basin, offset by further growth in emissions from Algeria’s giant Hassi R’Mel gas field
  • Climate data company Kayrros suggests eliminating all methane super emitters is achievable by 2025
  • US Inflation Reduction Act likely to create incentives needed for sudden and drastic reform from 2022
