Ottawa to announce methane pollution reduction plan

The Carney government is introducing new measures to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, responding to industry concerns about previous regulations. Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin will announce the policy, which allows for some compliance flexibility while aiming for a significant cut in emissions. The measures also target methane from landfills, projected to reduce emissions by 100 million tonnes by 2040. Overall, the new regulations are expected to improve air quality and provide natural gas for heating millions of homes.
