What if you could crack the code on building a business case for methane management that not only drives

emissions reduction but also supports business growth? Paul, the driving force behind the methane strategy at Diversified Energy, has spent years focusing on just that. In this workshop, he will reveal the story behind their ambitious 2024 methane reduction initiatives—what worked, what didn’t, and how these lessons are shaping the strategies for 2025.

• Discover new emissions source focuses for 2025
• Explore how data-driven insights influence 2025 mitigation planning and regulatory alignment
• Understand how to align methane reduction efforts with profitability and operational efficiency

• Develop durable and flexible standards that can adapt to evolving technologies without constraining innovation in the industry
• Harmonize international efforts, ensuring that methane reduction standards are aligned globally, while still reflecting the unique needs of regional markets and regulatory environments
• Leverage standardization as a tool for market access
• Ensure consensus-driven solutions, bringing together a broad range of stakeholders to create standards that are practical and future-proof

·       Conduct a techno-economic analysis of available solutions, what solutions can be deployed at a negative net cost?

·       Evaluate investment in waste to energy programs to convert fugitive emissions into a valuable product and reduce wider business costs

·       Consider the interplay between long-term technology investment and rapidly changing regulation. What investments are truly viable?

·       Assess the future of the energy landscape, how does methane mitigation fit into the broader transition to sustainable energy sources?
