New EPA rules being adopted Thursday would rescind regulations for methane-gas emissions adopted in 2016 and could make it harder to impose climate-change regulations

The Environmental Protection Agency plans to use new methane rules to help set a higher bar for regulating other emissions that contribute to climate change, according to people familiar with the situation and an excerpt of the new rule.for methane-gas emissions adopted in 2016, including ending requirements that oil-and-gas producers have procedures to detect and fix methane leaks in their systems.
