Event Summary
In this session, Srijana Rai, the technical director of Veritas, will provide an overview of GTI Energy’s Veritas initiative. It will include the Why, What and How behind Veritas. She will do an in-depth walkthrough of the 10-step measurement and reconciliation process and cover the methane emissions intensity, value chain summation, and assurance protocols. She will also explain the newly developed OGMP 2.0 aligned source-level pathway.
Attendees will receive 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon approval.
