U.S. Officials doubled down on their request to EU counterparts to ensure liquefied natural gas shipments that meet recent U.S.

Methane regulations also automatically comply with Europe’s new requirements for gas imports.

President Joe Biden’s adminstration sent a second letter to Ditte Juul Jørgensen, EU Director General for Energy on Dec. 17, to hurry up the guide for its case that US Environmental Protection Agency guidelines have to be assumed “equal” to the EU regulations, whose emission reporting requirements start to knock in, in 2025.

European Union countries passed a law in May to foist methane emissions limits on Europe’s oil and gas imports from 2030, pressuring worldwide suppliers to cut leaks of the robust greenhouse gas.

Connecting U.S. And EU methane standards might secure the United States’ increasing LNG trade with Europe while additionally sealing Biden’s tough regulations on methane, a dominant greenhouse gas, sooner or later if the are ultimately abolished by President elected Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

“The letter is supposed to accentuate in detail the entire suite of major emissions standards, their sturdy implementation and compliance, and the reporting necessities’ function in making sure transparency and accountability,” EPA Assistant Administrator for air and radiation Joe Goffman stated.

Goffman signed the letter with Brad Crabtree, assistant secretary on the Energy Department’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management. They dispatched their first letter to the EU on the end of October, just days earlier than the U.S. Election.

EU officials have been not instantly available for comment.

The United States is the world’s leading oil and gas manufacturers, and its exports of LNG grow after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led European countries to reduce their dependence on Russian energy and searching for other sources.

The DOE has paused allowance for new LNG exports and stated this week it had discovered that growing LNG exports danger dramatically increasing greenhouse gas emissions and may also trigger cost hikes for U.S. energy clients.

The EPA has decided regulations that crack down on releases of methane, the main element in natural gas and LNG, from current and new oil and gas facilities, and set a price focusing on large methane leaks from energy infrastructure.

In its letter to the EU this week, the officers highlighted the emissions reducing ability of the rules.

EPA methane standards could less to 58 million tons of methane emissions from 2024 to 2038 at the same time as the Waste Emissions Charge rule could result in increasing 34 million metric tons CO2 equal reducing through 2035, they wrote.

The EU has not yet intended the correct methane limits, or decided how another country’s domestic methane rules might be taken into consideration “equivalent” to its very own.

Trump, a climate change questioner and a large supporter of fossil fuel development, has guaranteed to directly end the moratorium on new LNG export allows when he returns to the White House on Jan. 20 and has vowed to roll back most of Biden’s climate targeted regulations.
