In light of the international nature of emissions from EU energy-supply chains, this is the right approach and the strategy should be used as a tool in climate diplomacy. In the case of methane from coal mines, EURACOAL highlights in a new <a href=\"https:\/\/public.euracoal.eu\/download\/Public-Archive\/Library\/Position-Papers\/EURACOAL_20210426_Position-Paper-Methane-Strategy_rev09.pdf\">position paper<\/a> several actions at the EU level that would further encourage the mitigation of this methane, turning an environmental issue into a clean energy resource.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6686\" src=\"https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop.jpg\" alt=\"JSW-3-crop\" width=\"654\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop.jpg 1590w, https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pipe.euracoal.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/jsw-3-crop-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU Methane Strategy, published by the European Commission in October 2020, covers several areas of human activity.
