The European Commission is reportedly set to postpone the introduction of new methane emission limits for the energy sector, citing surging energy prices. The delay would push back rules intended to curb methane leaks from oil, gas and coal operations, drawing criticism from climate advocates who see it as a setback for emissions reduction efforts.

Why now: Rising energy prices are pressuring the EU to soften climate rules, sparking debate over the balance between energy costs and emissions targets
