Strengthening America's Energy Advantage Through Methane Leadership
Where industry, regulators, and solution providers come together to define the next chapter of methane management in the United States

The methane conversation has entered a new phase.

While regulatory uncertainty continues to dominate headlines, the most forward-looking operators are focused on a much bigger question: what role will methane performance play in strengthening the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term growth of America's O&G industry?

The stakes are rising. Federal priorities continue to shift, state regulations are becoming increasingly fragmented, and uncertainty remains around the future direction of key reporting frameworks. At the same time, new commercial pressures are emerging. The EUMR is reshaping conversations around global market access, buyers are seeking greater emissions transparency, and growing energy demand from LNG markets and data centres is placing renewed focus on the role of low-methane natural gas.

Against this backdrop, methane management is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It is increasingly influencing operational performance, commercial strategy, investment decisions, market access, and the industry's ability to demonstrate its value in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. For operators, the challenge is clear: how do you continue building durable methane programs amid uncertainty, turn growing volumes of emissions data into actionable intelligence, respond to evolving market expectations, and identify where the next wave of methane reductions will come from?

Methane Mitigation America brings together the regulators, operators, technology providers, and industry associations shaping these discussions to provide practical insight into the risks, opportunities, and strategic decisions that will define the next chapter of methane management across America's oil and gas sector.

What Our Community Said:

A great thing about the Methane Mitigation Summit Series is always the chance to check out all the methane sensing and abatement gear, which gets better every year. Gives a sense of optimism despite challenges and uncertainty on the policy front.

Head of Research, Sustainable Finance, Environmental Defense Fund

Had a great time at the Methane Mitigation Summit. The discussions on methane reduction technologies, AI, and the current methane regulatory climate in the US were particularly interesting.

Senior Practice Leader, Environmental, Parkhill

I came away inspired by the shared experience of so many operators that the process of building improved methane inventories has resulted in more collaboration and cohesion within their organizations - building bridges and bringing benefits that transcend the emissions management space - transformative work!

Senior Environmental Engineer, NJ Natural Gas

I’m honored to join industry leaders at the Methane Mitigation Summit in Houston to share actionable strategies for building a sustainable energy grid while ensuring the reliable power that fuels our economy.

Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Southern Star Central Gas

Thanks to the team for another great event! Looking forward to next year’s global Summit in June!

Director or Business Development, MiQ

This is one of the best events out there, drawing stakeholders from across the ecosystem to exchange ideas and advance the shared priority of slashing oil and gas methane emissions.

Principal, Climate Intelligence Program, RMI
