How pricing methane from the oil and gas industry can slash emissions
What gets measured gets managed. Researchers say visibility of oil and gas companies’ methane emissions will unleash the power of markets to slash planet-warming pollution.

Exclusive natural gas data reveals trillions of dollars of upcoming projects
Thousands of new power plants, pipelines, LNG terminals and extraction fields reveal investment strategies laden with climate and financial risk.
EU energy tax proposals retain natural gas as “transition fuel”
The European Commission’s latest attempt to align national fuel taxes and reward cleaner alternatives was always going to be a long shot, but its leniency towards natural gas may make it more palatable to member states.
National governments should lead fossil fuels phase-out – report
Governments must begin winding down fossil fuel production immediately if global warming is to remain below 1.5°C. Any delay is entirely political, suggests a report commissioned by global initiative the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Public finance failing to advance energy transition in the Global South
Countries in the Global South need international public finance to support clean energy instead of the dash for gas as witnessed in recent years, says the International Institute for Sustainable Development.
Opinion: Today, it was Exxon’s AGM. Tomorrow, it’s yours.
The climate change votes at the AGMs of ExxonMobil and Chevron mark a tipping point for shareholder concern about climate change. Expect more votes, in more sectors, and soon.

Why confused language around gas will slow the energy transition
Policymakers are increasingly adding elaborate caveats to energy transition pledges in an effort to look ambitious on climate action, while refusing to fully engage with the implications of net-zero emissions for natural gas, writes energy analyst Jonathan Gaventa.
Weekly data: CCS barely denting the emissions of ExxonMobil
Emissions data shows that carbon capture and storage has a long way to go if energy companies are serious about using the technology to decarbonise.
Opinion: Governments must move faster to eliminate fossil fuels from buildings
The International Energy Agency's net-zero emissions pathway urges policymakers to begin banning the sale of new fossil fuel boilers and furnaces in 2025. Governments should not wait that long.
Why the US should push renewables, not gas, in Europe
The Three Seas Initiative between countries in the east of Europe remains, with US support, focused on gas. Switching its attention to renewables would avoid stranded assets and boost technological, industrial and economic transformation, writes Julian Popov from the European Climate Foundation.
How oil and gas extraction undermines the climate policies of rich nations
The UK, Norway, the US and Canada like to present themselves as climate leaders, but their strategies around oil and gas tell a different story.
How limiting fossil fuel extraction in the West could help poorer oil nations
Limiting oil and gas extraction in rich countries could allow some emerging producers to develop, but the world's diminishing carbon budget also makes this a pathway fraught with risk.
