Amid the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war, Germany, Europe's biggest gas market, has joined mounting opposition to the EU's planned methane emissions rules, warning the policy could disrupt jet fuel supplies. According to reports, the German government expressed concern that the law could worsen the energy supply shortages already affecting the continent.
