Methane to Markets Partnership Expo Advances New Clean-Energy Projects
The Methane to Markets Partnership Expo, the premier international forum for promoting methane recovery-and-use project opportunities and technologies, was held in Beijing, China from October 30 to November 1, 2007. Over 700 participants from 34 countries - representing government, private sector, and non-governmental organizations - shared expertise and developed strategies to advance cost-effective, near-term projects to reduce methane emissions. The Expo celebrated the third anniversary of the Methane to Markets Partnership.

U.S. EPA’s Climate Change Division works to assess and address global climate change and the associated risks to human health and the environment. We play a key role in U.S. and international efforts to address climate change by:

implementing successful voluntary programs to reduce non-carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
analyzing rigorously CO2 and non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions and economically efficient reduction, sequestration, and adaptation options,
communicating climate analyses and strategies to policy-makers, experts and U.S. climate negotiators,
building effective international capacity to analyze and reduce GHG emissions and associated air pollution, and
educating the public on climate change.
