During those COP27 climate talks in 2022 in Egypt, China’s top climate envoy, Mr Xie Zhenhua, made an unexpected appearance at a meeting of the Global Methane Partnership, an initiative led by the US and European Union aimed at slashing 2020-level methane emissions by 30 per cent by the end of this decade.
“It’s the opening salvo to be able to sit down and have some more serious discussions about methane in China,” said Mr Jonathan Banks, global director for methane prevention at Clean Air Task Force, a global research and advocacy non-profit organisation.But it has yet to set targets for methane and other non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and is still working out how to measure them accurately.
Reforms to China’s industrial and agriculture sectors, however, could lead to 30 per cent to 40 per cent in methane reductions from 2015 levels by the end of the decade, a study published in August by scientists at California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory suggested. China is the world’s largest source of methane from coal mines, with 28 per cent of the world’s biggest methane emissions points, according to Mr Antoine Halff, co-founder of environmental research group Karryos.
