Methane emissions: Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 framework.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency responsible for monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases that cause global warming in order to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Existing law requires the state board to approve and begin implementing the comprehensive short-lived climate pollutant strategy, as specified, to achieve a reduction in the statewide emissions of methane by 40% below 2013 levels by 2030. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation that would reduce upstream methane from the oil and gas sector by examining the practices of the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0.
