As the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR) moves further into implementation, gaining insight from a competent authority is invaluable. These advisors are responsible for translating regulatory requirements into practical enforcement frameworks, coordinating with industry, and ensuring compliance across complex operational networks.

With key reporting, monitoring, and methane intensity requirements continuing to come into force across Europe, operators face increasing pressure to understand evolving expectations and prepare for long-term compliance. To help navigate this changing landscape, we spoke with Jens Knochen, Policy Advisor for Emission Control at the State Office for Mining, Energy, and Geology (LBEG), to answer some critical questions:

• How can competent authorities ensure consistent enforcement across diverse sectors and operators?
• What role will innovation and technology play in meeting leak detection, monitoring, and emissions reduction requirements?
• How can collaboration between regulators and industry support effective implementation of the EUMR?

As the EU Methane Regulation moves toward full implementation, understanding how methane intensity will be calculated is critical.

With the August 2027 deadline for the European Commission to define the official methodology approaching, operators face growing uncertainty. How will methane intensity be measured? How can operators prepare now to meet future standards?

To help you navigate this evolving landscape, Clean Air Task Force (CATF) has published a detailed analysis of the key methodological considerations for methane intensity reporting. The report explores:

• The EU Methane Regulation’s roadmap for MRV and mitigation obligations.
• Existing global methodologies, from OGCI and NGSI to IEA and EPA, and what they reveal about potential EU approaches.
• Critical formula choices: produced vs. marketed product, granularity, scope, and units of output.
• Implications for compliance and innovation, including how methodology decisions will impact operators and importers.

This document is based on a preliminary version of the report Methane Intensity for Oil and Gas Production: Key Methodological Considerations which may be revised prior to final publication.

As the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR) moves closer to full enforcement, operators across Europe and beyond are grappling with the complexities caused by a lack of clear guidance and technical complexity. While the regulation aims to set a level playing field and accelerate climate progress, its practical implementation raises critical questions: Can technology keep pace with evolving regulations and operational demands? What does technical best practice look like in achieving compliance without excessive cost or complexity?

Having just passed the February 5th, 2026 deadline to submit MRV reports containing quantification of source-level methane emissions and with more deadlines to come in 2027, and uncertainty surrounding monitoring frequency, data reconciliation, and importer provisions, pressure is mounting. To help you navigate these challenges, we spoke with Bettina Knudsen, COO and Co-Founder of Explicit, a pioneer in drone-based methane detection, to uncover candid insights on:

• Balancing ambition and practicality: Why proportionality across emissions sources matters and how dynamic monitoring can make compliance more viable
• Managing measurement uncertainty: The realities of methane quantification and what technical best practice looks like as technology evolves
• Why standardisation matters: Building integrity and confidence in a rapidly innovating market

• The biggest compliance hurdles operators face under the EUMR
• Proven strategies for reducing uncertainty and improving monitoring workflows
• How innovation, automation, and proportionality can transform methane mitigation efforts

After speaking with industry leaders, one key lesson stands out; “While many operators face similar challenges, each site is unique. You can’t simply copy and paste solutions from one location to another.”

With regulatory deadlines moving closer as well as growing stakeholder pressures, reducing methane emissions has become an urgent priority. To ensure technical best-practice and to stay ahead of regulatory or stakeholder scrutiny, whether you operate within the exploration and production, transmission, or distribution of oil and gas, it is crucial that you are aware of the pre-set paths to efficient emissions reduction, at each level of the value chain.

As the industry is racing against the clock to prepare for the EU MR, we sought to uncover practical, on-the-ground insights and provide you with proven strategies from peers within your unique operational setting. We spoke with expert leaders from across the upstream, transmission and distribution segments of the value chain; Bart Wauterickz, Managing Director at XP Upgreen, François Spitaels, Environment Manager at Fluxys, and Vinsents Makaris, Head of Corporate Governance and Compliance at JSC Gaso. These leaders shared candid perspectives on their most significant emission sources, the barriers to tackling them, and the innovative solutions being deployed to drive real results.
