Pre-Conference Workshop Day: Tuesday, June 2, 2026

8:00 AM Workshop B: From Lab to the Field: Inside NGIF’s Methane Commercialization Playbook

The Natural Gas Innovation Fund (NGIF) is an industry-led organization that works directly with technology developers and gas operators to move methane solutions from concept to commercial reality. Through its Emissions Testing Centre (ETC), NGIF has built hands-on experience across a wide range of methane technologies, understanding not just how they work in isolation, but how they perform together in real operating environments.


In this workshop, NGIF will share exclusive early insights from its Commercialization Support Program, including the launch of its first two pillars: the Technology Landscape (Pillar 1) and the Commercialization & Adoption Playbook (Pillar 2). These tools are designed to help both operators and solution providers make better decisions on technology selection, deployment strategies, and scaling pathways, grounded in real testing and field experience.

  • Understand how different technologies complement each other across monitoring, measurement, and mitigation strategies.
  • Navigate NGIF’s new Technology Landscape (Pillar 1) to better understand available methane technologies, performance trends, and where different solutions fit across the value chain
  • Apply insights from the Commercialization & Adoption Playbook (Pillar 2) to design stronger pilots, reduce deployment risks, and shorten time-to-scale
