The Group That Includes Brazil Aims to Reduce Global Production of Pollution Responsible for Climate Change Throughout the Natural Gas Supply Chain.
Several countries, including Brazil, have joined an initiative to combat greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire natural gas supply chain. The goal is to measure, monitor, document, and verify emissions of methane, carbon dioxide, and other polluting gases, from production to gas distribution.
Notable participants in this collaborative group include Australia, Canada, Colombia, countries from the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum, European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mozambique, Norway, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the USA.
The U.S. Department of Energy emphasized the importance of providing reliable information about natural gas emissions to global markets. Efforts are being made to develop a global framework that is supported by both importing and exporting countries, aiming for sustainability in the natural gas sector.

There is oil below the oil that Brazil already extracts: Petrobras confirmed a new accumulation in the Búzios field, at a depth of 5,600 meters, in a zone below the reservoir already operating in the Santos Basin.

404 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, an oil company drilled 5,855 meters into the ocean and discovered the largest oil and gas reserve found in a quarter of a century.

Vaca Muerta can supply gas to Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Argentina for up to 124 years, but it requires more than $10 billion in infrastructure to distribute the gas.

Criminals dig a secret tunnel to tap into Petrobras pipeline, steal 100,000 liters of fuel and put thousands of people at risk of explosion in the Federal District.
Furthermore, this group’s agreement is an important step considering the European Commission’s proposal to impose limits on methane emissions from gas imports starting in 2030, which may pressure international suppliers to reduce leaks of this environmentally harmful gas.
The importance of regulating methane emissions has also been recognized in discussions about how developing countries will be able to measure and verify their own gas emissions in the near future.
