The Bureau of Land Management will tighten limits on gas flaring on federal lands and require energy companies to improve methods to detect methane leaks that add to greenhouse gas pollution.

A new report says the large amount of methane leaking from Utah natural gas production sites not only contributes to climate change and poor air quality but also hurts the state’s economy.

Animal agriculture produces more methane – a powerful greenhouse gas – than any other human activity in the U.S. Climate experts say we need to cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically before 2030. But when it comes to emissions from the livestock sector, the science is still emerging, and it’s not yet clear if the cuts will come in time—or how.

The proposal made on Monday by the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management would tighten limits on gas flaring on federal land and require energy companies to better detect methane leaks.
