Agriculture is one of three main areas President Biden has focused on to reduce methane as part of the Global Methane Pledge announced at the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP26).
The administration is proposing two new rules to reduce methane losses from new and existing oil and gas pipelines and to reduce wasteful and potentially dangerous leaks from natural gas pipelines.
“We’re also launching a new initiative to work with our farmers and our ranchers to introduce climate-smart agriculture practices and reduce methane on farms which is a significant source as well,” Biden says.
