As hyperscale data centres drive explosive growth in energy demand, developers are increasingly looking beyond just low-carbon power to the full emissions profile of their energy supply, including upstream methane intensity. With natural gas playing a critical role in balancing renewables and supporting grid reliability, data centre operators are emerging as a powerful new demand signal for low-methane gas.

• Examine how leading data centre operators are assessing and integrating methane intensity into their energy procurement strategies
• Consider how exponential growth of natural gas power generation for data centres is reshaping methane slip considerations and emissions strategies.
• Discuss how hyperscalers balance speed to energization with electrical efficiency, methane slip, and overall emissions performance
• Analyze what requirements buyers of power and gas may soon place on upstream operators and energy suppliers
• Explore whether low-methane certified gas could become a commercial differentiator in power purchase agreements and energy offtake deals
