Natural Gas STAR Program and Methane Mitigation
EPA collaborates with oil and natural gas operators and industry stakeholders to encourage the identification and implementation of technologies and practices to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Reducing methane emissions reduces operational risk, increases efficiency, and demonstrates company concern for the environment, with benefits spanning from climate change to air quality improvements to conservation of a non-renewable energy resource. Through the Natural Gas STAR Program, EPA facilitates technology transfer and implementation workshops and webinars, shares technical resources, and collaborates with oil and gas operators.
