Navigating the voluntary initiatives landscape for methane

Validere Workshop

Date: Thursday, February 23, 2023
Time: 11:30 am - 12:30 pm Workshop Presentation; 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Lunch & Networking 
Location: Validere Houston Office – Energy Tower One

Validere's Erin Tullos, Senior Advisor, Carbon Strategies will be hosting a workshop on emissions management covering the emerging voluntary methane initiatives market, the application of measurement technologies, and how to maximize value through participation.

Methane emissions from the oil and gas value chain have been called the achilles heel of the industry. They threaten the reputation of natural gas as part of the energy transition, though energy forecasts agree that natural gas has decades of running room. Resultantly, many companies have leaned in to opportunities to demonstrate progress in reducing methane emissions through various differentiated gas initiatives as well as measurement, verification, and reporting frameworks.

Meanwhile, the ecosystem of performance initiatives and measurement technologies are complex. The evolution of options is ever expanding with less clarity over time as to where to focus. This can lead to analysis paralysis or, more expensively, a temptation to place small bets around and try everything.

The discussion will cover: 

• Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) (e.g.,  OGMP 2.0)
• Certifications (e.g., Project Canary, Equitable Origins)
• Other technical programs developing protocols in support of those efforts
