Jul 14 - United Press International
Canada Thursday became the 16th nation to join the U.S. EPA's Methane to Markets Partnership to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas methane. By participating in this exciting international initiative, Canada will have the opportunity to promote and market Canadian expertise in the area of methane-emissions-reducing technologies, particularly in the oil and gas sector, Canadian Minister of the Environment Stephane Dion added. The Methane to Markets Partnership targets three major sources of methane -- landfills, underground coal mines, and natural gas and oil systems. In addition to Canada, countries participating in the program are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States. |
