Methane is the greenhouse gas that’s turbocharging global heating and climate disasters. Methane is a super-pollutant over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide and has caused almost half of global temperature rise since the industrial revolution.

Coal & gas mining is more polluting than any other sector because of its huge carbon and methane emissions. While ordinary Australians face the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and communities are hit with worsening floods, fires and droughts, wealthy coal & gas companies are knowingly polluting potent methane and putting communities at risk. 

The good news is there’s lots of ways to cut methane pollution without putting pressure on communities. Coal & gas corporations have the technology to measure and reduce methane pollution today and solutions cost only a fraction of mining corporation profits. Our governments need to hold corporations like Whitehaven, Glencore and Santos to account on their methane pollution by requiring accurate methane measurement and charting a methane reduction pathway.

We have the solutions that can get Australia’s coal & gas mining to Methane Zero. The next step is action.
