Back to All Media Next Steps for the EU Methane Regulation: Implications for U.S. and Global Gas Suppliers – By Ben Cahill The goal of this white paper is to inform discussions and actions related to the EU Methane Emissions Regulation (EU MER) and global gas natural gas supply chains. The analysis takes no position on the EU MER itself, in whole or in part. Starting in mid-2025, researchers and staff affiliated with the Center for Energy and Environmental Systems Analysis (CEESA) have engaged with U.S. and international stakeholders in the development of a verification and reporting protocol for the EU MER. Ahead of the release of the protocol, this white paper identifies potential actions to reduce ambiguity over how the EU MER will be implemented.
