Cairn Oil & Gas first join UNEP for methane reduction

Under the MoU, Cairn will implement a five-year methane reduction target and report its progress to OGMP, establishing transparent data that supports emissions management. “We are thrilled to welcome our first member from India,” said Giulia Ferrini, OGMP 2.0 Programme Manager. “We hope Cairn’s commitment will inspire other companies from the country to join OGMP 2.0 and contribute to improving methane emissions reporting and management practices in the oil and gas sector.”
Cairn’s participation in OGMP 2.0 adds to the initiative’s coverage, which encompasses over 40% of global oil and gas production. Cairn’s Chief Financial Officer, Hitesh Vaid, noted, “We are excited to join UNEP’s OGMP 2.0 to set and achieve our methane reduction targets. Our multi-faceted ESG strategy…highlights the extent of our dedication towards both the environment and India’s energy security.” Vaid reiterated Cairn’s pledge to reduce methane emissions while aiming for Net Zero by 2030.
Earlier this year, Cairn announced its acceleration toward net zero, building on its achievements in reducing gas flaring volumes by 60% over four years and optimizing processes to minimize emissions. The OGMP 2.0 framework supports the goals of the Paris Agreement and Global Methane Pledge, which targets a 30% global methane reduction by 2030.
