'''Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP)''' is designed to address methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector by providing financial and technical support for leak detection, measurement, and mitigation. By focusing on reducing one of the most potent greenhouse gases, the program aims to contribute to climate change mitigation, improve air quality, and support the transition to cleaner energy practices.< | '''Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP)''' is designed to address methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector by providing financial and technical support for leak detection, measurement, and mitigation.
