The European Parliament voted on Thursday to approve a three-year delay to EU methane emissions rules for oil and gas imports, extending the deadline to 2030. The decision follows intense lobbying from governments including France and the United States, shifting away from an initially planned one-year postponement. Lawmakers pushed back the implementation to prevent potential disruptions in fuel deliveries of Natural Gas and crude oil from international suppliers.
