The Mexican state oil company, Pemex, reported that it will work with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA / US Environmental Protection Agency) to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane gas, in order to meet its commitments international.
“Through the agreement, the EPA will support this institution with diagnoses and economic analyzes to support decision-making in its onshore oil and natural gas operations,” Pemex said in a statement.
Pemex added that, through the technical collaboration of the EPA, it plans to develop and launch a greenhouse gas mitigation plan in the first half of 2023.
The oil company said that the agreement with the US agency seeks to promote “Mexico’s objectives to reduce methane gas emissions, in line with the provisions of the Global Methane Commitment and the Global Methane Energy Commitment.”
Pemex’s onshore oil and gas operations have come under intense scrutiny this year, after satellites recorded record volumes of natural gas flaring, including from two fields slated to produce gas.
