Read the full story at Clean Air Task Force.

Using a state-of-the-art infrared camera, Clean Air Task Force has documented methane emissions leaking or venting from oil & gas facilities all over Europe. So far, the organization has visited over 150 sites in seven European countries and found harmful, invisible methane pollution at the vast majority of sites.

Today, Clean Air Task Force (CATF) releases footage from Germany, Italy and Hungary as the first wave of evidence for its new campaign, CutMethaneEU. The videos from these countries are available in an online library alongside information about methane emissions in Europe, as well as a dedicated petition that allows citizens to demand rapid action on methane pollution.
