The Methane to Markets Partnership is now the Global Methane Initiative!

On 1 October 2010 thirty-eight governments, the European Commission, the Asian Development Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank launched the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) to urge stronger international action to fight climate change while developing clean energy and stronger economies.

GMI builds on the existing structure and success of the Methane to Markets Partnership to reduce emissions of methane, while enhancing and expanding these efforts and encouraging new resource commitments from country partners.

We are currently transitioning the website and our outreach materials to GMI.

For more details please visit our GMI Information Page.

The primary focus of this Web site is the U.S. role in the Global Methane Initiative and how the individual partner programs; AgSTAR, CMOP, GasSTAR, and LMOP; support the partnership. The International Global Methane Initiative Web site contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on Initiative activities.
