- This paper critically assesses the use of climate metrics in comparing methane and CO2 emissions and makes recommendations for industry, academia and governments in changing reporting methods. The paper was shortlisted for Best Paper by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Environmental Science group of journals and in 2019 was used by the European Commission’s Directorate General Energy as evidence to inform a proposed EU Methane Strategy (Brendan.devlin@ec.eu). Used to develop the Industry-led Methane Guiding Principles Outreach Program (https://methaneguidingprinciples.org/masterclass-courses/). Invited to present the paper to UK Government department BEIS (Science and Innovation for Climate and Energy) in 2019 (Jose Bermudez: Jose.Miguel@beis.gov.uk).
