What countries are participating in the Global Methane Initiative?
Partners in this effort share certain characteristics, including generating significant levels of methane emissions, range of emission sources, special expertise, and geographic and economic significance. In the future, it is expected that the initiative will be expanded to include other countries where methane is an important emission source. The United States and 13 other countries launched the Global Methane Initiative in November 2004. Since then, 6 additional national governments as well as the European Commission have joined the Initiative, for a total of 21 partners.
