Major Oil Companies Aim for Zero Methane Emission by 2030

A group of the world's top oil companies, including Saudi Aramco, Shell and Exxon Mobil, said on March 8 that it has committed to cut fugitive emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, to near zero by 2030.

The decision by Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), which includes 12 of the world's largest oil and gas company follows calls by governments at the Glasgow COP26 climate summit last year to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030.
