Global Methane Tracker 2026

The Global Methane Tracker 2026 provides the International Energy Agency’s latest estimates of methane emissions across the energy sector and assesses opportunities to reduce them.

Drawing on the latest satellite observations, measurement campaigns and other available data, the report examines emissions from oil, natural gas, coal and bioenergy, as well as available mitigation options and their associated costs.

The 2026 edition also explores policy trends, efforts to develop markets for fuels with near-zero methane intensity, strategies for responding to satellite-detected large-emissions events, and regional developments in methane mitigation.
