The White House announced additional steps to reduce methane emissions from oil and natural gas operations as part of a broader strategy. They included regulations to be proposed later this year by the US Bureau of Land Management to curb gas flaring on public lands. The moves will build on successes achieved through voluntary efforts and targeted regulations, according to Dan Utech, special assistant to US President Barack Obama for energy and. climate change.
