The European Parliament voted on Tuesday in favour of rules that would force companies selling oil and gas in Europe to cut their methane emissions, setting itself up for tough negotiations with EU countries seeking weaker limits on the potent greenhouse gas.
Methane is the second-biggest cause of climate change, after carbon dioxide. In the short term, it is more potent than CO2, but methane emissions leave the atmosphere more quickly - so rapid methane cuts can accelerate efforts to slow climate change.
Lawmakers also backed rules, originally proposed by the European Commission, to largely ban companies from "venting and flaring" methane - intentionally releasing or burning it.
