Leading methane action since 2004
The Global Methane Initiative (GMI) is an international public-private partnership focused on reducing barriers to the recovery and use of methane as a valuable energy source. GMI provides technical support to deploy methane-to-energy projects around the world that enable Partner Countries to launch methane recovery and use projects. GMI focuses on three key sectors: Oil and Gas, Biogas, and Coal Mines.
- Identifying opportunities for emissions reductions
- Fostering best practices and effective policies
- Sharing technical resources and strategies
- Increasing capacity and skills to address methane
- Hosting webinars and collaborative events
- GMI, UNECE, Global Methane Hub, and CCAC Joint Press Release, Geneva, Switzerland, 20 March 2024
- 2024 Global Methane Forum's Methane Action Showcase.
- View upcoming events.

Oil & Gas SectorMethane emissions from oil and natural gas systems result from both normal operations and system disruptions. These emissions can be cost-effectively reduced by upgrading technologies or equipment, and by improving operations. |
Biogas SectorBiogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of organic material can be treated to create pipeline-quality natural gas, used directly as a cooking fuel, used to generate electricity, and captured on-site to provide heat and power. |
Coal Mines SectorRemoving fugitive methane gas from underground coal mines and using it in profitable and practical ways can improve worker safety, enhance mine productivity, increase revenues, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. |
