Agenda Day 3 - Thursday, December 3
8:00 AM Panel: Fragmentation or Convergence? The Future of Voluntary Reporting in the US
As the methane reporting landscape continues to evolve, operators face an increasingly complex ecosystem of frameworks and reporting initiatives. While programmes such as OGMP, ONE Future and MiQ have gained significant traction, new methodologies and reporting approaches continue to emerge driven by key players such as UT Austin and API. Against a backdrop of regulatory uncertainty in the United States and diverging stakeholder expectations, this discussion will explore whether the industry is moving toward greater alignment or a more fragmented reporting future and what this means for operators seeking to demonstrate credible emissions performance to customers, investors, and key internal stakeholders.
• As voluntary reporting frameworks continue to proliferate, is the industry moving toward a common language for methane performance, or a patchwork of competing methodologies?
• If federal methane regulations and reporting requirements are significantly scaled back, what role will voluntary initiatives play in driving consistency, transparency, and accountability across the sector?
• How should operators navigate competing frameworks and reporting expectations while balancing the need for flexibility, operational practicality, and stakeholder confidence?
• Is a single reporting framework necessary to enable meaningful benchmarking and comparability, or does the diversity of asset types, operating environments, and corporate objectives require a more nuanced approach?
