The Trump administration and Qatar have warned the EU that it faces a gas supply crunch that would force up prices unless Brussels rewrites planned rules on methane emissions.
Washington and Doha said most global oil and gas exporters could not meet the draft regulation that would set monitoring and reporting standards across supply chains for methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
The complaints from the US and Qatar — the world’s top two liquefied natural gas exporters — came in a letter to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president António Costa ahead of a meeting of the bloc’s energy ministers on Friday.
