Main Conference Day 2: Thursday 18th March

8:10 AM Keynote Panel: The EU Methane Regulation Goes Global: A New Chapter for International Methane Policy?

Europe's methane rules do not stop at its borders. From 1 January 2027, EU importers must demonstrate that relevant oil and gas supplies meet equivalent MRV requirements. As Europe's approach begins to influence how methane is measured, reported and verified beyond the EU, a bigger question is emerging: is Europe simply regulating its own imports, or beginning to reshape the global rules of the energy market?

• Hear from the global supply chain: How are producers and exporters across MENA, Asia, North America and beyond responding to a European methane framework that increasingly reaches into their operations?

• Examine Europe's influence: Is the EU approach becoming a reference point for methane MRV beyond European markets, and how are other producing regions responding to the emergence of a new benchmark?

• Debate the case for convergence: Could greater alignment around methane measurement, reporting and verification accelerate global emissions reductions, or risk imposing a fragmented patchwork of regional requirements?

• Consider the implications for global energy markets: If methane performance increasingly shapes how energy markets define responsible production, what could this mean for the future competitiveness, investment and market position of different producing regions?
