Beyond Methane Pledge

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other methane-based fuels, such as bio-methane and e-methane, are not a climate solution. They are mainly composed of methane—a potent greenhouse gas responsible for approximately a quarter of global warming. LNG and methane-based fuels are dangerous for people and the environment from land to sea throughout their life cycles, starting with production and ending with burning. For instance, fracking for LNG uses billions of gallons of water, contains thousands of chemicals, and harms local and Indigenous communities. Rising LNG production and use, enabled by greenwashing, is putting critical global climate targets at risk. LNG has no place in a sustainable future.   

Where “use” includes its burning as a fuel, and where “enabling activities” include:

  • building, maintaining, or hosting infrastructure (for any point of the lifecycle);

  • financial contributions of any kind;

  • supporting or creating policies that give a competitive advantage over zero-emission fuels; and

  • using or promoting language that excludes or contradicts:

    • the 20-year global warming potential of methane being over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide; and

    • the well-to-wake detrimental social, health, environmental, and climate impacts of LNG and methane (throughout their lifecycle), including fugitive emissions.

The signatories of this pledge commit to stop any activities or plans that will expand the use of LNG and other methane-based fuels, immediately and no later than 2025. Signatories also commit to stop all LNG and methane-based fuel use and enabling activities (a complete phase-out) by 2030.
