The captured gas can be resold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">In the context of tensions in energy markets linked to the war in the Middle East, addressing methane is not only a climate problem, but also a clear energy security issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>War in the Middle East<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The IEA notes that recovering this unused gas would strengthen the energy supply, which has been put to the test by the war in the Middle East, by supplying markets with 200 billion m\u00b3 of gas annually.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">This 200 billion m\u00b3 represents double the amount of gas flowing annually through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked since the beginning of the war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Meanwhile, the IEA points out that most of the approximately one hundred countries that have signed the Global Methane Pledge have not yet taken concrete action: current policy would reduce oil and gas-related emissions by 20% by 2030, below the economic target of -30% by 2020. <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Approximately 70% of methane emissions from the fossil fuel sector come from the 10 highest-emitting countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, remain very high.
