About the Event
Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, with a warming potential over 80 times higher than that of carbon dioxide over a two-decade period. Reducing methane emissions is widely recognized as one of the fastest and most effective ways to slow global warming.
India, as a leading energy producer and consumer, has a unique opportunity to address methane emissions in its energy sector. To support this critical effort, Swaniti Global’s Global Climate and Development Institute is launching a comprehensive report: Methane Emissions in India’s Energy Sector: Current Landscape and Future Prospects.
This report offers an in-depth look at India’s methane emissions challenges, highlights opportunities for mitigation, and provides actionable strategies to address policy, measurement, and reporting gaps. It aims to empower key stakeholders including policymakers, energy companies, technology providers, and intergovernmental organizations with clear and practical solutions for meaningful impact.
