8:15 AM Keynote Panel: Keynote Panel: Keeping the Momentum: Recalibrating Methane Management for a Changing Landscape

The drivers behind methane management are changing. While federal regulatory pressure has eased, state requirements, global market expectations, operational efficiency and long-term business resilience continue to shape investment decisions. Against this backdrop, those responsible for leading methane programmes face a new challenge: how do you sustain momentum when competing business priorities intensify, budgets come under greater scrutiny and the external case for action becomes less straightforward? This keynote panel brings together industry leaders to explore how organisations can continue building internal support, prioritising investment and embedding methane management as a long-term business capability, regardless of how the regulatory landscape evolves.

• What will drive methane management in the absence of stronger federal regulation? Examine the relative influence of operational efficiency, state regulations, international markets, investor expectations and corporate commitments in shaping the future of methane management. 
• How do you recalibrate, not retreat? Explore how operators are adapting methane programmes to reflect today's changing regulatory landscape, reducing unnecessary burden where appropriate while preserving the technical capabilities, organisational momentum and strategic readiness needed to respond to future policy changes, evolving market expectations and maintain industry leadership. 
• How do you sustain organisational momentum? Share practical strategies for maintaining executive support, cross-functional engagement and operational buy-in, ensuring methane management remains embedded in day-to-day decision-making despite changing external drivers. 
• What role should industry leadership play? Consider how operators can continue raising the bar for methane performance, fostering collaboration across the industry and demonstrating leadership that extends beyond compliance alone.
