Introduction to the EU Methane Regulation, MRV & Preparing for a Global Regulatory Environment


Virtual, Instructor-Led

Event Summary

The new European Union Methane Regulation (EUMR) requires energy exporters to disclose their product’s upstream associated methane impacts beginning in 2025 with additional phased requirements, including methane intensity reporting and, ultimately, compliance with a to-be-determined methane intensity limit by 2030. The EUMR regulates emissions outside the EU border by requiring exporters to institute robust Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) programs to meet import contractual methane intensity disclosure and limit requirements…regardless of the U.S. regulations in place. As the requirements apply to the entire production value chain, they will impact U.S. natural gas producers whose product makes its way to LNG export facilities, as well as the midstream and transmission operators who treat and transport the gas. This course will address the regulation, its impacts to operators in various oil and gas industry seg-ments, and best practices in the field and in data management that can be implemented to prepare for this global regulatory environment.

Attendees will receive 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion.
