Paul Espenan

Delivering real methane reductions isn’t about finding a single “perfect” technology, it’s about making the right combination work in messy, real operating environments. Paul Espenan is known for taking a highly collaborative, innovation-first approach, working closely with cutting-edge startups to co-develop abatement solutions that actually fit how operators run their assets. In this session, he shares practical lessons from integrating multiple abatement technologies across complex gas systems, focusing on what truly works on the ground, not just on paper.

• Discuss where the largest abatement opportunities sit across gas infrastructure and how to prioritize them based on operational realities
• Explore how vendor collaboration and co-development models are accelerating practical, operator-ready abatement solutions
• Examine how different abatement technologies can be integrated, sequenced and optimized for maximum impact across diverse asset types
• Understand how to evaluate abatement solutions through the lens of ROI, operational fit and scalability, not just technical promise
