Lowering Methane Emissions in the Global Gas Industry

Cutting methane emissions from the oil and gas sector offers one of the fastest, most cost-effective opportunities to slow the pace of global warming. This session will focus on the actions taken by oil and gas producers to reduce their methane emissions. 

Ben Cahill will provide an overview of the recent CSIS report, Reducing Methane Emissions from Global Gas, including policy recommendations and engagement strategies with global gas players. A discussion with Mark Brownstein (EDF) and Mary Streett (bp) will follow, focusing on how companies and markets are responding to government regulations and investor pressures to enhance methane monitoring and reduce emissions.
