Pre-Conference Workshop Day: Tuesday, December 2

8:00 AM Workshop A: Rules, Rollbacks & Risk: Decoding Methane Compliance in the Era of Uncertainty

The recent wave of federal regulatory rollbacks has left many operators asking: what are we actually required to do right now? Even the most experienced compliance teams are struggling to separate signal from noise. For many operators, it’s unclear what’s still enforceable, what’s actually changing, and what actions carry the biggest legal risk.

 

In this workshop, Kyle Danish, one of the most trusted legal voices in U.S. climate policy, will help you unpack the regulatory flux, understand your current obligations, and prepare for whatever comes next.

 

·       Decode the legal mechanics behind federal rollback efforts and why the road to deregulation is far from straightforward

·       Clarify which rules still matter, where enforcement stands, and how public litigation could come into play

·       Anticipate future shifts based on court decisions, Congressional action, and upcoming election cycles

·       Discuss how to build a smart, low-regret compliance strategy amid legal uncertainty
