NEW: The Trump administration announces its latest proposal to reverse Obama-era regulations on greenhouse gases, the latest move targeting restrictions on the release of methane from oil and natural gas operations.
The Trump administration announced its latest proposal to reverse Obama-era regulations on greenhouse gases on Thursday, the latest proposal targeting restrictions on the release of methane from oil and natural gas operations.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposal would remove parts of the natural gas production process from methane restrictions, including compressor stations and underground storage. The announcement comes almost a year after EPA proposed a different rule to limit other methane restrictions. Major oil and natural gas companies like Shell, BP and Exxon have said they support federal limits on methane emissions and are already taking steps to reduce emissions and prevent leaks.
