Abstract: Reducing methane emissions is one of the most effective means of combating climate change in the short term.During the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, methane emission control has become the core issue and the focus of the game between the parties.As the country with the largest anthropogenic methane emissions, China has taken the initiative to participate in the international methane emission control action and has promised to achieve significant results in controlling and reducing methane emissions in the 2020s.After analyzing the overall situation faced by China on the control of methane emissions, this paper analyzes the current status of China’s methane emissions, the emission control actions and the existing problems.Corresponding countermeasures for the control of China’s methane emissions in the new era are proposed.Existing problems mainly include:the data foundation for the compilation of methane emission inventory is weak, and the total emission amount and structure are not clear; various departments are facing different technical and policy issues, and it is not easy to reduce methane emissions across the board; the shortcomings of technical system are prominent, and the capacity of methane emission control deserve to be improved.It is recommended to systematically plan the top-level design of methane emission control at the national level, promote the introduction of methane emission control action plans for different sectors, strengthen basic research and technology research & development of methane emission control, enhance international exchanges and cooperation in the field of methane emission control, and increase the publicity and social participation in methane emission control.
