Major Companies Join Voluntary EPA Program to Cut Methane

摘要

Dozens of companies, including Duke Energy Corp., DTE Energy Co., and Vectren Corp., have joined a voluntary U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program to slash their methane emissions, the latest in an all-out Obama administration effort to curb releases of the potent greenhouse gas. The 41 founding members of the Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program agreed to implement a series of best management practices to cut methane emissions within five years, submit annual data on their efforts to EPA, and have that information posted online.
