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?

With the February 5th, 2026 deadline to submit MRV reports containing quantification of source-level methane emissions approaching, 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

Download the full interview to explore:

• 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
