Energy‐intensive industries account for a significant part of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Industrial sectors such as cement, iron and steel, chemicals and refining represent one‐fifth of total global CO2 emissions, and the amount of CO2 they produce is likely to grow over the coming decades.

This study focuses primarily on evaluating and reducing upstream methane emissions in the natural gas sector. This has two important implications. First, this paper in no way aims to diminish the urgent need to achieve GHG emissions reductions from other segments of the economy.
