From the U.S. GHGRP and EPA methane rule to the EU Methane Regulation, OGMP 2.0, and emerging national systems, the global methane MRV landscape is rapidly taking shape. This session provides a comparative look at how frameworks differ in scope, data expectations, verification requirements, and timelines and what convergence could look like in the years ahead.

• Compare key elements of major MRV frameworks (GHGRP, OGMP 2.0, EU Methane Regulation, etc.).
• Identify opportunities and barriers for harmonization across jurisdictions.
• Understand how operators can prepare for verification-ready data under evolving standards.
• Explore the implications of MRV convergence for global trade, certification, and compliance. 

• Explore how different technology pathways (aerial, continuous, site-level) are currently being used to develop measurement-informed inventories — and why these approaches are not yet comparable across companies.
• Evaluate the methodological choices that most significantly impact a company’s final methane intensity and emissions inventory outcomes.
• Discuss how emerging frameworks such as OGMP, Veritas, and national reporting schemes are shaping the future of measurement-informed inventory development.
• Examine how greater standardisation and transparency can help operators create inventories that are both technically robust and commercially credible — enabling fair, apples-to-apples comparisons across industry.
