Europe’s cheapest gas this winter is the gas it’s leaking out of the pipes. As energy ministers gather for the informal Energy Council amid a renewed push to reopen EU Methane Rules steered by France, one question can't be ignored: how much gas is wasted before it even reaches the EU market? 1/6🧵👇

🇺🇸Frontline communities near US LNG facilities pay with their health for Europe's gas addiction. ⚠️🗣️Listen to James Hiatt, @betterbayou.bsky.social. As Climate Week NYC unfolds, we must remind the EU of the importance of applying its #EUMethaneRegulation and ending gas dependency shorturl.at/hXXSs

🚨New policy brief: Cutting methane from the EU’s top gas suppliers could recover twice the gas imported from Qatar in 2025. After a summer of devastating climate impacts and with gas prices spiking, implementing the #EUMethaneRegulation is a key energy security and climate measure👉 sl1nk.com/aib2v5l

Finally there’s a chance to make polluters pay 🔥 In just 24 hours, ministers will decide if they tax the extraordinary profits of Big Oil. Since the start of the War in Iran, European households saw their energy bills skyrocket. Again.

Important signals in @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu SOTEU speech. But recognising the problem is not enough. We can't keep responding to climate disasters, volatile energy prices & industrial pressures one crisis at a time. What's missing is a plan on how to make this fossil fuel crisis Europe's last.
caneurope.org
“Europe does not have to choose between climate action, energy security and competitiveness."
“In fact, it cannot. Phasing out fossil fuels is how we protect people from volatile energy prices and strengthen Europe’s industrial and geopolitical resilience, while also cutting emissions.”
