Main Conference Day 1: Wednesday 25th February

8:15 AM Keynote Panel: From Legislative Text to Operator Action: Navigating Compliance and Implementation under the EU Methane Regulation

With the EU Methane Regulation now published and the delegated act set to define the technical and procedural details, operators face a new era of compliance complexity. This keynote panel convenes regulatory experts to decode the latest legislative instruments and explore what they mean for day-to-day operations. The discussion will move beyond policy headlines to unpack the real-world implications of implementation timelines, technology approvals, and industry-wide readiness.

    • Break down the key outcomes of the Omnibus and Delegated Act, and what they mean for methane monitoring, reporting, and mitigation
    • Clarify timelines and expectations for compliance, including what operators should be doing now to prepare for enforcement
    • Explore the challenges of harmonisation across Member States, and how industry can navigate uneven regulatory maturity
    • Highlight collaborative initiatives and support mechanisms that are helping operators streamline compliance efforts, share best practices, and build internal capacity
