10:30 AM The Pendulum Strikes Again: Navigating Regulatory Uncertainty while Safeguarding Methane Abatement Progress

What does ‘Mending’ Not ‘Breaking’ Federal rules look like for the industry and how should this be conveyed to governmental representatives?

·       Explore the judicial and administrative hurdles that make rapid regulatory rollbacks unlikely and why proactive mitigation remains the safest bet

·       Identify the ongoing operational, financial, and reputational drivers that are sustaining methane abatement momentum beyond regulatory mandates

·       Examine how leading operators are using internal ESG frameworks, investor pressure, and international market expectations to stay ahead of the curve

·       Understand why waiting for "regulatory clarity" is a risk in itself — and how forward-looking companies are safeguarding methane progress now
