A bipartisan resolution introduced by U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb, D-17th, that restores environmental regulations on methane emissions and leaks passed in the U.S. House of Representatives 229-191 Friday, removing Trump-era EPA rollbacks.

Led by Lamb as well as Diana DeGette, D-Col., and Scott Peters, D-Calif., the resolution, which passed the Senate in April, will now head to President Joe Biden’s desk.

S.J. Res. 14 reverses the methane pollution standards for new and modified oil and gas facilities that were previously put in place by the Trump administration in September 2020. The measure requires energy companies to reinstate previous limits on methane leaks in the production, storage and transmission of oil and natural gas.

Methane leaks and emissions are a concern as methane is a greenhouse gas that is significantly more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming over a shorter time span.

“Restoring these commonsense regulations will ensure we can safely develop our natural resources and protect energy jobs for decades to come,” Lamb said in a statement. “Business leaders and environmentalists agree — this is a necessary and responsible step to protecting our planet and jobs.”

Lamb had previously opposed the rollback of methane standards in 2020 when they were approved, and had led a bipartisan effort to attempt to prevent them from passing in the House.

“Western Pennsylvania is a proven leader in the research and development of new energy technologies, and we know that energy jobs and environmental protection go hand-and-hand,” Lamb said.

The move to remove the rollbacks is supported by both environmental advocates and energy industry giants, including the American Petroleum Institute and BP.
