美国将努力削减现有油气井的甲烷排放

据道琼斯华盛顿3月10日消息，奥巴马政府预计将宣布旨在监管美国几十万个油气井甲烷排放的第一项举措，此举可能面临正深受低油价冲击下的油气行业的反对，但将受到环保人士的欢迎。 本+文+内.容.来.自：中`国`碳`排*放*交*易^网 t a np ai fan g.com

知情人士称，美国政府计划周四与加拿大同时宣布类似举措。加拿大新任总理特鲁多上任后将首次访问白宫。两国将承诺，到2025年将油气行业甲烷排放量较2012年水平削减40%-45%。奥巴马政府此前已做出过这一承诺。

U.S. to Target Existing Oil, Gas Wells in Effort to Cut Methane Emissions

By Amy Harder

WASHINGTON--The Obama administration is expected to announce its first step toward regulating methane emissions from hundreds of thousands of oil and natural gas wells across the U.S., a move likely to face pushback from an industry battered by cheap oil and to be cheered by environmentalists.

The administration is planning to make the announcement Thursday alongside similar actions by Canada, whose new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, will be visiting the White House for the first time in office, according to people familiar with the plan. The two countries will commit to cut oil and gas methane emissions by 40% to 45% below 2012 levels by 2025, a commitment the Obama administration has previously made.
