Pre-Conference Workshop Day: Tuesday, December 2

9:45 AM Workshop D: The Measurement Playbook: Selecting, Combining, and Deploying Measurement Technologies for Maximum Accuracy

It’s no secret that accurately detecting and quantifying methane emissions is crucial for regulatory and voluntary reporting. However, finding the right combination of technologies and establishing the optimal measurement frequency isn’t always straightforward. This workshop will guide you in developing a comprehensive roadmap for selecting, integrating, and sequencing the best tools and techniques to ensure reliable and cost-effective monitoring.

Join this Workshop to:

· Leverage detection technologies that complement one another for enhanced accuracy

· Maximize efficiency by discovering the optimal sequence for deploying different technologies

· Determine the ideal measurement frequency to balance precision and cost effectively

· Customize successful use cases to fit your specific operational requirements

Main Conference Day 1: Wednesday, December 3

1:40 PM Panel: Build, Buy or Both? Designing the Right Methane Management System for Your Operations

· Debate the pros and cons of developing custom, in-house methane management systems versus leveraging third-party platforms

· Evaluate cost, scalability, maintenance, and integration factors that influence the build vs. buy decision

· Explore real-world operator experiences, lessons learned, and hidden pitfalls from both strategies
