U.S. Oil Fights EU Methane Rules | Europe News
Description
U.S. oil giants are waging a fierce lobbying battle against new EU methane rules that threaten to shut their natural gas exports from Europe, arguing the regulations are unworkable given the complexity of America’s supply chain — and they’re counting on the Trump administration to help them win. With Europe’s energy needs tied to U.S. gas after cutting Russian ties, the EU’s methane crackdown aims to align climate goals with energy security. But industry leaders warn the rules, set for January, could cripple billions in exports, prompting a diplomatic push that’s already won over half the EU member states — and even U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Meanwhile, European officials remain wary, balancing industry pressure against the risk of undermining hard-won environmental standards.
