This discussion will bring together policymakers, technology providers, and NGOs to explore the critical aspects of fostering technology research and development (R&D) with an aim to unlock the full potential of technology in the methane mitigation landscape, ensuring that Canada remains a leader in this field. Technology serves as the linchpin in reducing methane emissions efficiently and sustainably. We'll discuss how policies, innovation, and financing can empower technology to be the driving force in our shared goal of mitigating methane emissions effectively. Attend to:

• Understand the importance of policies which champion R&D, early commercialization, and expansion stages
• De-politicize technology innovation and embrace optionality
• Prioritize consideration of the entire technology development cycle, understand costs, and design policies that target critical stages for the technology take-off
• Evaluate how we can de-risk investments and secure infrastructure build-out
• Discuss access to financing and self-activating incentives
