About the Program
Do you want to learn more about public-private partnerships in climate change? Learn about the EPA's Methane to Markets Partnership. The Methane to Markets Partnership is an international initiative that advances cost-effective, near-term methane recovery and use as a clean energy source. The goal of the Partnership is to reduce global methane emissions in order to enhance economic growth, strengthen energy security, improve air quality, improve industrial safety, and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The Partnership acts as a mechanism to bring together interested parties from governments and the private sector to facilitate methane project development and implementation around the world.
The panel will feature EPA representatives that focus on the four sources of methane emissions which include:
- Agriculture (animal waste management),
- Coal mines,
- Landfills, and
- Oil and gas systems
