“As populations grow and economies expand, the world will continue to need solutions that ensure access to the affordable, reliable energy modern life depends on and at the same time accelerate emissions reductions and improve environmental performance,” American Petroleum Institute, the nation’s largest oil and gas trade group, said in a statement. “Achieving a lower-carbon future will require new approaches, new policies and continuous innovation, and our industry will continue to lead the way by further reducing emissions, advancing cleaner fuels, investing in ground-breaking technologies, and advocating for the direct regulation of methane and market-based solutions like carbon pricing.”
