The government of the Canadian province of Alberta has opened a new programme aimed at reducing methane emissions from small and medium-sized oil and gas companies. The programme, which will seek to reduce methane emissions through equipment upgrades, boosting competitiveness, productivity and environmental performance, is part of the province's Climate Leadership Plan, which has set a target of reducing methane emissions by 45% by 2025. Under the scheme, facilities that produce 40,000 barrels per day oil are eligible for incentives up to $250,000 per year.
