US President Joe Biden unveiled a wide-ranging plan to reduce methane emissions in his home country on the second day of the United Nations COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, where he has strived to position Washington as the global leader in combating climate change.
At the centre of an array of domestic regulations previewed by the White House on Tuesday is a long-awaited rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to tighten methane regulations for the oil and gas sector, which Biden required the agency to create in one of his first executive orders upon taking office.
