Delivering bold climate solutions in agriculture, transport and energy in Europe to clean the air, decarbonize and reduce #methane & #hydrogen emissions.

Joined June 2017
We have a powerful tool to slow climate change, right now. Methane is 80x more potent than CO₂ in the short term. But, we know where it’s leaking & we know how to stop it. With data & action, we can #CutMethane fast. 📺 Watch our Daniel Zavala-Araiza explain on @TEDTalks ⬇️

Europe’s energy security depends on reliability and transparency rather than supply volume. The EU Methane Regulation is making transparency a core element of a resilient and diversified energy system. [Promoted Content]

This TED Talk has already reached more than half a million viewers - and for good reason. Last year, our Lead Senior Scientist Daniel Zavala‑Araiza took the @TEDTalks stage with a simple but urgent message: #methane is one of the biggest climate opportunities we have, and the solutions are already within reach. youtube.com/watch?v=YPvP_C4q…

Clean energy is essential for people, the economy and the climate. On #WorldCleanEnergyDay, a reminder: over 75% of global emissions come from burning fossil fuels. Scaling renewables, boosting efficiency and reducing fossil fuel dependence can deliver cleaner air, lower costs and more energy resilience now.
Energy needs are increasing, yet the sector is already responsible for 3/4 of greenhouse gas emissions. This #WorldCleanEnergyDay learn how increasing efficiency & transitioning to renewables can drastically cut emissions, while providing #EnergyForAll: unep.org/topics/energy

Fact check: By 2027, global supply of gas meeting OGMP 2.0 Level 5 standards will be 2× EU demand. ✅ A new @RystadEnergy analysis shows the EU #MethaneRegulation can be implemented without tightening the market or risking supply. Diverse sourcing = resilience. ✅ Compliance is achievable ✅ Energy security protected 📄 Read more: tinyurl.com/4pyshyh8

🌱 Soil is a climate ally – but not a silver bullet. Scientists debunk common myths about soil carbon: 🔸Incentives help, but adoption depends on soil, water & crops. 🔸More carbon = healthier soil, but not always higher yields. 🔸Soil carbon can’t fully offset emissions. Evidence-based policies + realistic expectations = resilient food systems. More: tinyurl.com/593652s7

.@RystadEnergy projects: Global LNG supply to grow 4%/yr, creating oversupply from 2028–2032. ➡️ What this means for Europe: Leverage to set strong transparency & environmental standards for the gas we buy – while accelerating the clean energy transition. Strong methane rules 🟰 stronger energy security. 📄 Read more: tinyurl.com/4pyshyh8

Today’s EU #MethaneRegulation discussion at the Energy Council is a key moment for Member States to reaffirm support and use methane mitigation to boost energy security. @RystadEnergy for @EnvDefenseEuro shows compliance is feasible: OGMP 2.0 gas supply will meet 2x EU demand by 2027, refineries have enough compliant crude, and MRV costs are minor. MEP Thomas Pellerin-Carlin: “Europe can lock in methane while reducing dependence on fossil-fuel autocracies.” 📄 Full study: lnkd.in/e26Askni

Agricultural finance institutions are boosting resilience through climate action 🌱 A global survey by @EnvDefenseFund of 156 institutions across 17 countries shows many are moving from awareness to action, managing weather risks and supporting sustainable farming. Europe highlights: 🔸55% consider climate risk a core decision factor 🔸88% plan new sustainability-focused products, from loans to crop and weather insurance European AFIs are helping farmers adapt and thrive 💡 Policy support, collaboration & clear business cases are key. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4m27xjcs
