This switch to gas has been a factor in preventing a faster rise in global CO2 emissions in recent years. Agency ( IEA ) has said methane emissions from the oil and gas industries could be halved on average, at no cost to the sector, by switching from coal to gas. The announcement coincided with the unveiling of the Agency 's methane tracker tool, which offers up-to-date estimates of oil and gas emissions in 70 industries across 70 countries. In a separate report, the IEA said pricing and regulations that supported a switch to gas using existing infrastructure could bring carbon dioxide emissions back to Today levels.
