Methane Emission Regulations and US-EU Trade in Natural Gas

Past Event

February 28, 2024

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm est

In recent months, European Union (EU) countries have advanced methane emissions legislation, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced new rules for oil and gas operations affecting domestic methane emissions. This EU decision is expected to impact global gas and LNG exporters, including the US, now the world’s largest LNG exporter, with over half of its LNG going to Europe. Despite US plans to double LNG exports by 2028, the Biden administration’s pause on further export permits to non-FTA countries announced in January 2024 will affect pending US LNG projects.

How will these regulatory changes and political transitions on both sides of the Atlantic influence gas markets and the COP 28 mandate to move away from fossil fuels?

Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA as we convene our scholars to understand the implications of the new methane regulations in the US and the EU for both US domestic and global gas markets.

The New Energy Stalemate in Ukraine

Tatiana Mitrova, a fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and former energy scholar at Moscow’s Russian Academy of Sciences, and Sergey Vakulenko, an oil and gas expert at Carnegie’s Russia Eurasia Center, argue that Russia and Ukraine are locked in an energy war that has become an adaptation spiral, despite growing human and economic costs and despite current US pressure on Ukraine. They observe Ukraine’s remarkable ability to withstand Russian strikes, while questioning claims that long-range Ukrainian strikes will be able to achieve game-changing damage on Russia. Ukraine and Russia have transformed the role of energy warfare in modern conflict, drawing on low costs drones but also new forms of technological resilience that are likely to make wars longer and more dangerous.
