Key Findings
Fugitive methane emissions from coal mining and oil and gas supply have likely been grossly underestimated to date – by about 80% for coal and 90% for oil and gas
Correcting this under-reporting means large industrial facilities would have to double their rate of decarbonisation and halve their emissions by 2030
We need urgent action to improve methane emissions monitoring and reduction, to ensure Australia’s industry and households do not pay for the gross under-reporting of emissions
by the coal, oil and gas industries.
