Amanda Bryant, a senior analyst with the Pembina Institute‘s oil and gas program, writes in a blog post:

“But things are starting to change. Governments, research groups, and voluntary initiatives are improving methane inventories through measurement, leveraging a wide variety of technologies, pools of expertise, policies, and protocols.”
