3:40 PM The Price of Reduction and Compliance: Developing and Implementing Cost-Effective Abatement Strategies

The pressure to comply with regulations and achieve ambitious reduction targets, all while maintaining operational efficiency and profitability is real, creating a clear mandate for building a strong business case. This panel will explore how to quantify the financial benefits, assess return on investment, and identify cost-effective solutions that drive both regulatory compliance and long-term business value that can be communicated up and down the organizational ladder. Our panellists, each leading their organizations' methane reduction initiatives, will share 3 unique perspectives on the following:

  • Compare the economics of proactive mitigation vs. non-compliance penalties or operational efficiencies
  • Evaluate the financial impact of carbon reduction strategies on long-term business sustainability – how should investment be prioritised?
  • Strategize and design an internal business case for compliance and abatement
  • Leverage technology and innovation to streamline compliance costs and drive energy transition
  • Assess the benefits of outsourcing compliance services versus scaling internal teams and creating new roles
  • Identify funding, incentives, and partnership opportunities to offset costs
