The Methane Pollution Accountability Act aims to ensure that royalties for gas produced from federal land and the outer Continental Shelf are applied to all gas extracted, including gas that is wasted through venting or flaring. The primary goal is to reduce methane emissions and promote better management of natural gas resources. The key provisions of the Act require that all gas produced from new leases must be subject to royalties, which means companies will have to pay for any gas they extract, even if it is lost or wasted during production.
