Targeting enteric fermentation in livestock production represents an opportunity to curb nearly one-quarter of U.S. methane emissions.

Key Points: 
  • Targeting enteric fermentation in livestock production represents an opportunity to curb nearly one-quarter of U.S. methane emissions.
  • Reducing enteric methane emissions can be both a climate win, and an economic imperative by reducing the cost of cattle feed.
  • The legislation directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expand domestic capacity to develop and increase the adoption of enteric methane solutions.
  • Furthermore, the bill would make enteric methane reduction products and practices eligible for cost-share under several USDA conservation programs.

21 March 2024 – The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market could be transformed and potentially bifurcate if the European Union (EU) extends its carbon taxes to include LNG imports, according to the Wood Mackenzie’s latest Horizons report.

Key Points: 
  • 21 March 2024 – The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market could be transformed and potentially bifurcate if the European Union (EU) extends its carbon taxes to include LNG imports, according to the Wood Mackenzie’s latest Horizons report.
  • The EU has extended its Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) to shipping, meaning that LNG cargoes into Europe will be subject to a carbon tax from 2024.
  • The report, titled Call of duties: How emission taxes on imports could transform the global LNG market’ concludes that if the trading bloc goes further and tightens it methane regulation or includes LNG in its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – effectively placing an import duty on LNG at prevailing ETS carbon prices – then Wood Mackenzie predicts that the global LNG market would split.
  • “If the EU decides to apply these levies, then this will push European gas prices up but also bifurcate the global LNG market, creating a two-tier LNG market,” says Massimo Di Odoardo, Vice President of Gas & LNG Research at Wood Mackenzie.
