🟢 250 years after Alessandro Volta first identified methane from bubbling marshes, science is transforming how we understand — and act on — this powerful greenhouse gas. 🧵
@UNEP’s IMEO will host a webinar series focused on building capacity for methane management in Nigeria’s agriculture sector. This is part of the NiMERP, funded by the @EUinNigeria & implemented by IMEO in collaboration with the @GovNigeria. 🔗

🔑 The energy sector offers some of the fastest, most cost-effective opportunities to reduce #MethaneEmissions — and expanding participation in OGMP 2.0 is critical to scaling credible data and accountability across the sector.
➡️ By joining the partnership, OGDC Oil & Gas Development Company Ltd. commits to transparent, measurement-based reporting, enabling targeted efforts to #CutMethane.
The addition of new national oil companies to the partnership reflects growing momentum to strengthen methane transparency across the energy sector.
👏 Pakistan’s Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDC) joins OGMP 2.0 as the first member from the country! Growing OGMP 2.0 membership, especially among NOCs, signals rising momentum to turn ambition into action.
🛠️ Happening today: training government and industry stakeholders in Uzbekistan on @UNEP's #OGMP 2.0, the world's leading measurement-based reporting framework for methane emissions in the oil and gas sector

@UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for an increased response to MARS satellite alerts—this case is a clear example of the potential countries can tap into by translating data into action 👏.

📍 UNEP's IMEO continues to monitor the location through MARS. This case demonstrates how satellite data can help identify methane emissions, support timely repairs and verify mitigation—delivering measurable climate benefits.
🔁 MARS, managed by the UNEP's IMEO, draws on over 30 satellites to detect major methane emissions and alert governments and companies so they can take action.
⚙️ Since the reported mitigation in May 2026, no further emissions have been detected at the site.
🚨 The emissions, caused by a leak in a corroded dry gas pipeline, had the same climate impact as driving approximately 356,000 passenger vehicles for a year:

🟢 Methane mitigation confirmed in Iraq following the repair of a leaking gas pipeline.
🛰️ @UNEP's MARS has verified via satellite that methane emissions from this source were no longer observable following the application of a protective coating to repair corrosion.
📈 Early action creates competitive advantage: As scrutiny and regulation grow, methane performance will shape access to capital, markets and customers.

🤝 Better data is needed so companies can drive and track real emission reductions: By engaging with @UNEP’s Steel Methane Programme, the first global initiative focused on metallurgical coal methane in steel, the sector can measure, report, and #CutMethane.
🔍 Methane is the steel sector’s biggest overlooked climate opportunity: Methane from metallurgical coal mining comprises roughly 1/5 of steel's near-term climate impact — yet remains largely unmanaged and unmeasured.
🏭 Methane emissions are emerging as a key issue for the future competitiveness and sustainability of the steel sector.
Today, institutional investors issued a clear signal to the market: addressing methane is both a climate and financial imperative.
📈 Progress is underway, but much greater ambition and implementation are needed to seize one of the world's biggest climate opportunities.

🤝 Through IMEO, UN Environment Programme is helping turn this science, data and transparency into practical methane mitigation and answer the Secretary-General's call.
