Summary

The EPA finalized a rule to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas producers, which could be challenging for the Trump administration to overturn due to its inclusion in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act, the rule aims to reduce methane—a potent greenhouse gas with over 80 times the warming potential of CO2—by penalizing companies for venting or flaring instead of capturing it.

This regulation, expected to cut 1.2 million metric tons of methane emissions, may be challenging for a potential Trump administration to repeal, as it would require Congressional action.
