Interview | Insights from a Competent Authority Perspective: Implementing the EU Methane Regulation at a National Level

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?
