Jonathan Banks

·       Understand how to tackle emissions from beyond your borders

·       Understand the feasibility, legality, and broader impact of such a standard

·       View a Methane Import Standard as a way to drastically cut emissions

·       Understand the required regulatory and technical processes to construct an effective and World Trade Organisation Compliant Standard

Join us as to discuss the fundamental importance of data as the linchpin for progress in emissions management. In the collective journey towards

both achieving and assessing progress, accurate data serves as the guiding force, offering crucial insights for refining strategies.

• What strategies can one employ to proficiently aggregate emissions data from a combination of detection technologies?
• Understand how to identify the root causes of events and formulating mitigation plans based on collected data.
• How can you enhance your ability to forecast and prevent fugitive emissions?
• Delve into approaches for optimizing the measurement and reporting of methane emissions data at the organizational level
• Be enlightened of how to leverage emerging technologies for data validation and quality control

This panel converges high- level executives to discuss the critical topic of methane reduction from a strategic standpoint. Join us as we aim to inspire actionable strategies aligned with global commitments and long-term organizational resilience. The panellists will:

• Discuss the importance of standardized reporting protocols for methane emissions
• Explore international standards and frameworks that organizations can adopt to ensure consistency and comparability in reporting
• Assess how to meet and drive global methane reduction targets and international commitments through organizational initiatives
• Analyze the financial implications of methane mitigation strategies, including the role of investors and financial institutions in supporting sustainable practices

This discussion will bring together policymakers, technology providers, and NGOs to explore the critical aspects of fostering technology research and development with an aim to unlock the full potential of technology in the methane mitigation landscape. 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 research and development (R&D), early commercialisation, and expansion stages
• De-politicise technology innovation and embrace optionality
• Prioritise consideration of the entire technology development cycle, understand costs, and design policies that target critical stages for the technology take-off
• How can we de-risk investments and secure infrastructure build-out
• Discuss access to financing
• Discuss Self-activating incentives

As the global energy landscape evolves, it becomes increasingly vital for National Oil Companies (NOCs) and International Oil Companies (IOCs) to join forces in the fight against methane emissions. Attend this session to:

·       Gain insights into current partnerships and the success they have yielded with driving forward methane mitigation

·       Discover opportunities for sharing advanced technologies and best practices to expedite methane mitigation efforts

·       Understand the importance of aligning with global and regional methane reduction regulations and standards to ensure a unified approach

·       Explore how collaboration can open new market opportunities and promote sustainable growth

·       How can we encourage greater collaboration?

Sustainable investment is increasingly becoming a priority for financial institutions, and it is imperative that the oil and gas industry understands the criterium from which they are assessing viable investment opportunities. In this session, financial leaders and investors will come together to discuss the multifaceted relationship between financial investment and methane abatement. Attend this session to learn:

• How the technology landscape is shifting and what do technological advances allow external stakeholders to do in terms of assessing operator’s efforts
• Understand the significance of methane data management for companies and their investors and what the potential consequences are of poor data management in terms of environmental impact and financial risk
• Gain insights into what kinds of methane data investors are currently using and how these data points inform investment decisions? How do you see this evolving in the future?
• How are financial institutions making informed and responsible investment decisions, given the complex landscape of climate regulations and targets?

• Understand why fostering a culture of mitigation is essential
• The scalability of implementing new technologies
• Address issues with reporting and economic push backs
• Emphasize the importance of targeted training and skill development programs to equip mid and downstream sectors for effective methane mitigation
