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.

While Brazil sets records in solar and wind energy, the electrical system shuts down power plants every day because the transmission lines can’t handle it — and the losses have already exceeded R$ 5 billion in three years.

Brazil grows less than its neighbors despite the advantage of oil, says IMF, while Venezuela could access up to $5 billion.

American company acquires rare earth mine in Brazil for R$ 13.9 billion.

Petrobras puts R$ 15 billion on the table and begins studies with artificial intelligence in the Marajó Basin, while projecting US$ 2.5 billion in the Equatorial Margin to explore 37 strategic sedimentary basins in Brazil.
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.
