Italgas has been using the Picarro solution to detect and quantify large leaks on the distribution grid. Localizing and repairing these few large leaks has allowed Italgas to drastically reduce their emissions compared to the baseline and put them well on track to reach the aggressive reduction target of 83% fewer methane emissions by 2025. Picarro clients using direct emission measurements have achieved the highest OGMP 2.0 reporting levels (Gold Standard).

The Methane Matters Coalition consists of five non-profit organizations working across sectors on methane reductions. The main objective is to increase ambition at the European Union (EU) level and within European countries to reduce methane by 2030 while catalyzing EU leadership in the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge. The coalition aims to secure emission reduction targets, enforce existing regulatory frameworks, and implement targets focused on capping residual waste generation and reducing bio-waste in mixed waste streams. Reduction of livestock numbers to encourage a dietary shift and implementing mitigation measure on imported fossil fuels is also anticipated.
