Europe Policy Manager, Methane Clean Air Task Force

Main Conference Day 1: Wednesday 25th February

10:30 AM Panel: Passport Please: Decoding Equivalency, Compliance, and Collaboration Under the EU Import Standard

  • Discuss the implications of the EU methane import standard for global exporters and European buyers
  • Explore the challenge of MRV equivalency across jurisdictions and efforts to harmonize standards
  • Examine importer expectations around data transparency, reporting, and supplier due diligence
  • Highlight early collaborations building aligned, auditable, and trust-based supply chains 

11:45 AM What should be considered when developing or selecting a methane intensity methodology ?

The EU Methane Regulation mandates that producers compute and report methane intensity for their oil and gas operations starting on August 2028. The precise methodology for calculating this intensity has not yet been defined but will be published in 2027. There are a number of different methodologies for calculating methane intensity. Thus, it is important to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches. This presentation will explore key considerations that should be considered when developing or selecting a methane intensity formula.


1:25 PM Panel: From Brussels to the Field: Designing Scalable, Credible Methane Verification Frameworks

  • Hear from experts shaping the verification frameworks that will underpin compliance with the EU’s methane import standard
  • Understand the technical and procedural elements being considered to ensure consistency, credibility, and scalability across global supply chains
  • Explore how verification protocols will interact with existing reporting frameworks like OGMP 2.0 and certification schemes
  • Gain insight into how operators and solution providers can prepare for third-party verification and align internal systems with emerging standards
