CMES

Center for Methane Emissions Solutions was founded to provide a voice for businesses that that offer innovative solutions to reduce methane emissions.

This is a troubling report from @propublica. "Stripper wells collectively contribute just 6% of the nation’s oil and natural gas. But in recent studies, scientists have identified them as the source of roughly half the sector’s methane emissions."

Orphaned oil wells in New Mexico can cost up to $218,400 to clean up - a cost that may fall to federal taxpayers (instead of the companies responsible) if we have inadequate bonding requirements. https://t.co/2X43bNZejB

"From 2015-2024, oil and natural gas production in New Mexico generated extraordinary economic value. But because federal royalty rates were set below market for most of that period, taxpayers did not receive the full value of revenues generated from publicly owned resources."

There are sensible and proven strategies to address methane emissions. While the federal government has mistakenly avoided these approaches, states, on a bipartisan basis are embracing solutions. We must continue to regulate this harmful and unecessary pollutant.

Methane emissions from the energy sector remained near record highs in 2025.

Tackling these emissions could strengthen energy security amid today's crisis – making 200 bcm of natural gas available annually through tried-and-tested measures.

Cutting methane waste starts with knowing where emissions are happening. Rigorous measurement helps target action where it can have the biggest impact, supporting faster emissions cuts and stronger energy security. @FredKrupp for @WSJ🔗 https://t.co/ARy0ahIBOu

Colorado continues to lead in developing smart methane strategy "establishing state regulations to reduce methane emissions from landfills. Colorado’s rules go beyond existing fed regs requiring landfills to install GCCS, implement monitoring requirements, & phasing out flaring."

Pennsylvania just awarded $32M to CNX for coal mine methane capture at Enlow Fork — IRA money the Trump admin couldn't claw back.

The interesting story isn't the grant. It's the Remediated Mine Gas thesis CNX has built around it.

This is an important book. Methane is provably a solvable part of the climate crisis. Across the U.S. innovative technology companies are partnering with the oil and gas industry to reduce methane waste, while creating jobs.

[The New York Review of Books @nybooks]

A decade since “the biggest documented methane leak in US history,” the smellier greenhouse gas’s “part in the climate crisis remains largely overlooked, even though it is responsible for around 30 percent of all global warming to date.” —@jonmingle https://t.co/bKJqIlm5Zt

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

EPA's methane rule will result in 3.8 million tons of additional methane emissions. This is not just bad for the environment, it’s wasted natural gas, lost revenue, and missed opportunity for job growth in mitigation tech.

Study: Reduction made in methane release due to gas mining in New Mexico https://t.co/JHpAyAJWwT

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

Common sense rules work and New Mexico is leading the way. Production is up while emissions are down!

[MethaneSAT @MethaneSAT]

🔎 New MethaneSAT insights reveal a striking contrast between states in the Permian.

In New Mexico, which has strong methane protections, methane intensity is less than half that of operations in Texas.

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

New Mexico’s methane rules are working. 📉 Emissions from oil & gas in the Permian are half those in Texas—while production soared. $152M in economic value returned to NM. Smart policy + innovation = clean air & strong energy. 👏 Gov. @Michelle4NM

Congress and the President are focused on reducing the federal debt, why would they repeal the Methane Waste Charge when it saves taxpayers money? We urge members to vote NO on the CRA repealing the Methane Waste Charge.

[Taxpayers for Common Sense @taxpayers]

Congress should OPPOSE the repeal of the Methane Waste Charge. @USCBO estimates its repeal will cost $7,200,000,000 over the next 10yrs. Reducing methane waste is a win-win. More gas gets to market and more revenue in the pockets of American taxpayers. https://t.co/3B9Q1rW9jM

.@MethaneSolution thanks the Biden Administration for their leadership. Today’s rule, strikes the right balance, protecting public health, but also creates jobs and certainty for industry. We look forward to working with our partners to make sure this policy is a success.

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

We're taking climate action with a final rule that will sharply reduce emissions of methane and other harmful air pollution from the oil and natural gas industry.

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

Pneumatic equipment is the 2nd largest source of methane emissions in the oil and gas sector. @EPA must maintain zero-emitting pneumatic equipment requirements in order to #CutMethane pollution from the oil and gas industry.

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

Yesterday, was a seminal moment as @exxonmobil announced it would end its practice of routine gas flaring in the Permian. Flaring is an outdated practice impacting public health and the economy. @EPA should follow @exxonmobil’s lead and ban it. https://t.co/zl1yk5eU9u

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

Tune in today to hear CMES ED Isaac Brown provide testimony before @EPA about the opportunity to protect public health and support quality jobs through thoughtful methane rules. #CutMethane https://t.co/eYrPglhxRN

[CMES @MethaneSolution]

Today, @EPA took an important step toward protecting public health and ensuring a strong economy, by putting forth common-sense rules to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas sites. Read our statement: https://t.co/ADcLQXQSJH
