Natural gas and methane emissions

Natural gas – increasingly decarbonized over time – has a pivotal role to play in getting to net zero. And tackling methane emissions is vital if gas is to play its fullest role in the energy transition. We need to tackle methane emissions fast, and regulations can help.
bp is advocating for policies to support carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen, which are necessary to help achieve the Paris Agreement goals.

CCS and hydrogen

Carbon capture and Storage (CCS), and hydrogen are needed to abate hard-to-decarbonize industries like ethanol, steel and refining. That’s why we’re actively advocating for policies that can help support their growth in the US.
