Why Methane Mitigation Europe?

The 2026 Methane Mitigation Europe Summit is more than a conference - it’s the principal meeting place for oil and gas stakeholders tasked with delivering on the EU Methane Regulation, one of the world’s most ambitious climate policies in history.

Held ahead of key 2027 compliance deadlines under the EU Methane Regulation, Methane Mitigation Europe is the critical touchpoint for 400+ operators, regulators, exporters, investors and traders preparing for import standards and MRV alignment.

It’s up to you and the industry to ensure successful implementation, proving that oil and gas can play a credible role in a lower-carbon world. Join your peers and set the roadmap to Europe’s energy future.

What's happening at the 2026 Methane Mitigation Europe Summit?

We’re stepping things up. Following a sell-out year in 2025, our new, larger venue gives us the space to bring you more industry leading voices, more innovation, and more impact under one roof — including an expanded expo hall designed to showcase the technologies shaping the future of methane mitigation.

From topic-led roundtables to our Forging Collaboration session, every interaction is designed to help you identify peers facing similar challenges and build lasting, solution-driven relationships. Plus, you'll benefit from high value case studies, keynotes, workshops, and more!

2026 Key Themes of Disucssion Include:

Navigating EUMR Compliance Amid Evolving Expectations

Join us to learn the specificities of the regulation and the outcome of the Delegated Acts and Omnibus. Discover how to eliminate routine flaring and venting, improve destruction/removal efficiency, and deploy both Type 1 and Type 2 LDAR campaigns.

Global MRV Standards: Building Alignment Across Borders

We’ll examine how international actors - particularly from the Middle East to the United States - are responding to the EUMR, and explore the harmonisation of global MRV frameworks, including OGMP 2.0 and MiQ. You’ll learn how to navigate cross-border data expectations, third-party audits, and dive into the growing role of digital MRV platforms.

Optimizing Technical Best Practice

Discover the best practices for evaluating and deploying methane detection, quantification, and reduction technologies to meet emissions goals, and how to build a fit-for-purpose tech strategy based on operational needs, regulatory requirements, and site conditions.

Building Internal Capability to Scale Methane Mitigation

We’ll explore how operators are building internal taskforces, balancing in-house and outsourced expertise, and embedding methane KPIs across teams. You’ll walk away with practical models to scale capability and internal ownership, and learn how to foster cross-functional collaboration between operations, ESG, compliance, and procurement to drive sustained impact.

Integration of Methane Goals with wider Business Strategy

Learn how to identify projects that reduce lost product, improve operational efficiency, and support commercial goals. And, understand how to position methane initiatives in a way that resonates with internal decision-makers, while responding to growing investor pressure and evolving market signals like insurance premiums and sustainability-linked finance.

A Look Back at 2025's Expert Speakers

Perspective is key, and our 2025 speaker lineup offered just that. Ranging from operators in technical roles and strategic sustainability executives, to regulatory representatives, industry associations, financial institutions, NGOs, academics, and technology leaders, attendees gained the diverse insights needed to drive progress in reducing methane emissions.

Key Takeaways from 2025:
Regulatory Uncertainty Remains a Challenge

With key compliance deadlines looming, the absence of confirmed Competent Authorities in many states poses a significant challenge for operators still lacking clear guidance. Importers also face major unknowns, and the outcome of EU-US MRV equivalency discussions will be crucial in determining future compliance frameworks.

Standardization is Key to Ensuring a Coherent Approach to Emissions Detection, Quantification, and Reporting 

A standardized framework will create a common lexicon and establish clear performance requirements for both technologies and methodologies. Organizations such as CEN and ISO will have an integral role in shaping these efforts over the coming months to underpin regulatory requirements.

Data Quality & Granularity Will Guide Targeted and Meaningful Reduction

Europe is moving away from reliance on Emission Factors and toward continuous measurement and reconciliation-based approaches. While reconciliation remains a time-intensive process, it provides a valuable opportunity to identify unexpected emission sources, address measurement discrepancies, and build confidence in emissions inventories and the effectiveness of associated reduction strategies.

Methane Reduction is Now an Operational and Business Imperative

A low-emission asset is a better-performing asset. As operators begin to refine their use of best-practice measurement techniques, the focus is shifting further toward the development of high-impact and cost-effective abatement strategies, ensuring both compliance and improved asset performance.

Collaboration Continues to Be a Catalyst for Progress 

With so many important projects underway, knowledge exchange and capacity-building remain crucial. Initiatives and frameworks from the likes of UNEP, OGDC, MGP, and IOGP provide valuable structures for industry-wide collaboration. There is no single "silver bullet" approach, but it is clear that the more we combine learnings, the greater the impact we can achieve.
