Equitrans supports return to tighter methane rules
Pennsylvania-based Equitrans Midstream said April 16 it was adding its voice to the growing chorus of those expressing support for a return to tighter methane emission regulations.
Two resolutions moving through the US Congress would repeal the 2020 Methane Rescission Rule from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA last year loosened standards on emissions of methane and volatile organic compounds from new oil and gas facilities, part of the Trump administration’s effort to break up bureaucracy for the benefit of US energy dominance.
