BP and Environmental Defense Fund collaborate to reduce methane emissions
Joint effort focuses on developing technologies and management practices to accelerate reductions of methane emissions across the global oil and gas industry.
BP and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) announced a three-year strategic commitment to advance technologies and practices to reduce methane emissions from the global oil and gas supply chain.
The agreement enables joint collaboration on projects that test technologies and emerging strategies to continue to improve methane management. Working with universities and third party experts, the initiative has the potential for broad applicability to help the entire oil and gas industry.
EDF will not receive any funding from BP, consistent with EDF's strict policy prohibiting receipt of funds from energy companies and corporate collaborators. Rather, BP and EDF are working to identify third-party analytical and technological demonstration projects, and BP will assist with funding.
