About the Methane Partners Campaign
The Methane Partners Campaign (MPC), a project of the Partnership Project, was founded in 2015 as an unbranded campaign to coordinate a coalition of environmental, health, and labor organizations to advocate for strong methane pollution standards for both new and existing sources in the oil and gas industry, as well as to develop the advocacy skill sets of partner organizations, expand the representation of frontline communities in the environmental space working on methane, and contribute to the wealth of informed support and guidance designed to encourage presidential administrations and Members of Congress to serve as worldwide leaders on methane emissions reduction from the oil and gas sector. Since its inception, MPC has had a strong track record of success, pushing the Obama Administration to enact the nation’s first ever regulation of methane from oil and gas and defending these rules over the course of the Trump Administration. Today, MPC supports more than 115 organizations across the state and federal levels to push the Biden Administration and key states to advance and implement regulations that drastically reduce methane emissions and other harmful co-pollutants from oil and gas production.
