The EU proposed to delay new rules to cut planet-warming emissions from methane Tuesday, warning of a tough winter ahead with “very high” oil and gas prices owing to the US-Iran war.
EU energy chief Dan Jorgensen suggested the rules be pushed back by one year to “relax” pressure on energy markets, after holding talks with ministers from the bloc’s 27 nations in Dublin.
“There’s no doubt that we are approaching a winter that’s going to be challenging,” Jorgensen told reporters after the talks.
