Unlocking the potential of methane measurement and tracking technologies

Methane emissions tracking is evolving rapidly. Satellites with sensors and drones gathering data now enable continuous monitoring, top-down and bottom-up reconciliation methods are improving, and yet global standards remain fragmented. No single calculation model or data collection procedure exists across sectors and emissions boundaries lack consistent definition. To reach net-zero, technological breakthroughs, innovative approaches, and cohesive regulations are needed. These will enhance quantification and mitigation efforts that can then effectively combat this potent greenhouse gas and its climate impact.

Attendee insights:

This session will explore the potential of technologies that can help track methane emissions across sectors and the need for standardised methane emissions accounting frameworks.
