EPA - Reducing Climate- and Health-Harming Pollution from the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
Posted by [email protected] on Nov. 23, 2022 / 2022 Blogs
On November 2, 2021, EPA took significant steps in fighting the climate crisis and protecting public health through a proposed rule that would sharply reduce methane and other harmful air pollution from both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry. With the 2022 supplemental proposed rule, EPA is proposing to update, strengthen and expand the 2021 proposal to secure major climate and health benefits by reducing emissions of methane and other harmful air pollution from both new and existing sources in the oil and natural gas industry. The supplemental proposal would make emissions reductions from oil and natural gas operations more comprehensive by improving standards in the 2021 proposal and adding proposed requirements for sources not previously covered by the rules.
To help engage with our stakeholders on the supplemental proposed oil and natural gas methane rule, EPA will host three separate trainings. Each training will provide an overview of the supplemental proposed rule, information on how to effectively engage in the regulatory process, and an opportunity to ask questions.
