EU lawmakers back clampdown on potent greenhouse gas methane

A handout screen grab from thermographic video footage shot on April 6, 2021 with an infrared camera and made available to Reuters on June 10, 2021 by Clean Air Task Force (CATF), shows what appears to be methane gas leaking from two stacks at SNAM's Panigaglia LNG terminal near La Spezia, Italy. CATF found methane seeping into the atmosphere at 123 oil and gas sites visited in seven EU states by placing the infrared camera in public vantage points to detect hydrocarbons such as methane that are invisible to the naked eye.
