(Reuters) - Methane emissions from the energy sector remained near a record high in 2023 despite a raft of commitments from the oil and gas industry to plug leaking infrastructure, a report by the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday.
However, the agency said it was optimistic new satellites could help improve monitoring and transparency around leaks of methane - a potent greenhouse gas responsible for roughly a third of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution.
