The Methane to Markets Partnership is an international initiative that advances cost-effective, near-term methane recovery and use as a clean energy source. The goal of the Partnership is to reduce global methane emissions in order to enhance economic growth, strengthen energy security, improve air quality, improve industrial safety, and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The Partnership acts as a mechanism to bring together interested parties from governments and the private sector to facilitate methane project development and implementation around the world.
The Partnership currently focuses on four sources of methane emissions:
- Agriculture (animal waste management)
- Coal mines
- Landfills
- Oil and gas systems
National governments, private sector entities, development banks, non-governmental organizations, financial and technical experts, and other interested parties are encouraged to join the Partnership and collaborate to develop methane capture and use projects internationally.
