European Commission President Von der Leyen said the EU will grant methane
exporters a one-year extension on the transition period for its methane
emissions regulation. She said Brussels will launch a strategic dialogue with
the European refining sector to lower costs and will propose measures in the
coming months to raise electricity’s share of overall energy demand. Von der
Leyen warned high energy costs are straining businesses and households and could
worsening ahead of winter, so immediate action is required.
