Research Brief: African Rice Cultivation and Methane Emissions
The Harvard Initiative on Reducing Global Methane Emissions, supported by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, has released a Research Brief titled “Updating Estimates of Methane Emissions: Rising Emissions in Africa from Rice Agriculture.” The Brief summarizes research by Professor Daniel Jacob and postdoctoral fellow Zichong Chen, atmospheric scientists at Harvard University, with their colleagues. The researchers found that rapidly increasing lowland rice agriculture in Africa could be contributing significantly to the current rise in global methane emissions.

Research Brief: EPA’s Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Methane Emission Rules
The Harvard Initiative on Reducing Global Methane Emissions has released a research brief titled “EPA’s Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Methane Emission Rules.” The brief provides an account of the recent evolution of regulation in the United States to address methane emissions from landfills. An earlier version of the brief was prepared in support of a convening on methane emissions from landfills conducted by the Harvard Law School Environmental and Energy Law Program (EELP) in January 2024. The workshop –and the brief – were supported by the Salata Institute through the Harvard Initiative on Reducing Global Methane Emissions. The brief was written by Carrie Jenks and Hannah Dobie, Executive Director and Staff Attorney, respectively, at EELP.

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage: Carbon Dioxide Transport Costs and Network-Infrastructure Considerations for a Net-Zero United States
Most national and international models indicate that carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) will be needed, along with a range of other technologies, to economically reach net-zero emissions by 2050 in the United States. A new paper, co-authored by Clara Galeazzi, Grace Lam, and John Holdren, examines the various transport options for carbon dioxide, compares existing modeling efforts to estimate pipeline system costs, and proposes policy priorities to support the development of CO₂ pipeline transport.
