This paper puts forth recommendations on how the European Union’s “You Collect We Buy” initiative can catalyse the realisation of gas capture opportunities, considering actions within the direct control of the European Commission, as well as necessary actions that fall under the competence of key stakeholders such as partner governments, companies, financial institutions, and NGOs. The paper builds on elements and suggestions collected during a stakeholder workshop in Paris in June 2024, co-hosted by Clean Air Task Force, the European Commission and the International Energy Agency, which sought to develop a robust understanding of the operational, financial, and market barriers obstructing gas-recovery projects, while also considering what solutions could resolve these challenges and lay the groundwork necessary for all stakeholders to seize the gas-capture opportunity.
