The International Energy Agency (IEA) developed this resource to help countries implement a new policy or regulation that drives down methane leaks from the oil & gas industry, including help understanding the local setting and circumstances, regulatory design and development, and finally, implementation. It provides a complete “getting started” guide for policy makers looking to develop new regulations to tackle oil and gas methane emissions within their jurisdictions. It also includes a regulatory roadmap that focuses on the process of establishing a new regulation and a toolkit that focuses on the content of methane regulations.
