    Methane: Post COP28 roadmap
    Carbon Management/Decarbonization

The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter, and funding to reduce methane emissions, will help to facilitate action from emitters. What are the next practical steps for operators to implement these renewed commitments? Over what timeline will there be material impact of these changes?
