"It is important to bring down the net costs of reducing methane emissions. I say ‘net costs’ because abatement may be costly, but, for example, in some cases yields can be increased at the same time. That phenomenon – in the form of keeping more of a merchantable product (natural gas) in the pipeline – is making a difference in the oil and gas sector.  Ultimately, this means greater adoption and diffusion of abatement technologies, whether induced by public policies or through independent market forces.” --HPCA Director Robert Stavins at COP29 Side Event, 'New Horizons in Methane-Emissions Abatement,' November 11, 2024.
