Canada enacts methane rules to cut oil and gas emissions 75% by 2035, starting in 2028.
Canada has introduced new methane regulations for its oil and gas sector, aiming to cut emissions by 75% below 2014 levels by 2035, with rules taking effect in 2028.
The measures ban most venting, require regular leak inspections, and allow companies flexibility in meeting methane intensity targets.
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, accounts for about half of Canada’s methane emissions, primarily from oil and gas operations.
The rules are expected to reduce emissions by 304 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent while causing only a 0.2% decline in oil and gas output through 2035.
The policy builds on earlier progress toward a 40% to 45% reduction by 2025, though sector emissions continue to rise due to increased production.
The government says the regulations remain a priority despite broader rollbacks of climate policies.
