Here's what's scheduled for the event. All Times are in BST.
| AGENDA, DAY ONE | |
| 09:00 | REGISTRATION AND WELCOME COFFEE |
| 09:30 | OPENING ADDRESS FROM THE CHAIRMAN |
| 09:40 | CURRENT STATE OF METHANE EMISSIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE |
| 10:20 | SPEED NETWORKING Innovative approach to maximize networking capabilities through two minutes periods, where delegates can meet their peers and exchange business cards before rotating to the next company representative |
| 10:50 | MORNING COFFEE AND NETWORKING BREAK |
| 11:20 | O&G PRODUCER COMMITMENT TO METHANE EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND VIEWS ABOUT THE EU METHANE REGULATION PROPOSAL Case study • Developing comprehensive legislation that addresses methane emissions specifically • Implementing robust methane standards and regulations that establish emission limits, reporting requirements, and enforcement mechanisms for different industries • Developing sector-specific guidelines that provide clear guidance and best practices for methane emission reduction • Partnerships between governments, industry stakeholders, and environmental organizations to jointly develop and implement methane reduction strategies |
| 12:00 | METHANE EMISSIONS MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES – CASE STUDY Case study • Source level methods & quantification • Site level methods: remote sensing technologies & satellite-based monitoring systems • Guidelines for reconciliation |
| 12:40 | SUCCESSFUL METHANE MITIGATION PROJECTS Case study • Methane capture and utilization • Methane mitigation strategies in the oil and gas industry • Innovative solutions for methane reduction |
| 13:20 | BUSINESS LUNCH |
| 14:30 | THEMATIC DEBT: MARKET OVERVIEW AND METHANE MITIGATION EXAMPLES Case study • Transition requires investment. Thematic (or labelled, sustainable) finance provides a promising way to increase action on transition, by tying the access to thematic financial instruments with the need for sustainable investments. • The market has grown massively in the last decade and the availability of instruments has expanded, presenting more options for issuers and investors. The range of issuers and investments financed continues to broaden. • However, ensuring transparency, credibility and accountability is more important than ever. These are the key challenges, and they should be met through practical solutions that avoid adding unnecessary market entry barriers. • This session will include an overview of the thematic market (as tracked by Climate Bonds Initiative), its potential to finance a range of projects with environmental and social benefits, key challenges, solutions and recommendations, and examples of (limited) finance for methane mitigation projects. |
| 15:10 | ESTIMATING METHANE EMISSIONS Case study • An overview of the process and challenges involved in estimating methane emissions • Direct measurement techniques such as ground-based monitoring stations, aerial surveys, and satellite observations • Explanation of the bottom-up approach, which involves estimating methane emissions by considering individual sources such as agriculture, energy production, waste management, and natural sources • The top-down approach, which involves measuring atmospheric concentrations of methane and using atmospheric transport models to estimate emissions |
| 15:50 | NETWORKING COFFEE BREAK |
| 16:20 | METHANE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES AND PRACTICES IN AGRICULTURE Case study • Livestock methane reduction techniques • Agricultural waste management strategies |
| 17:00 | PANEL DISCUSSION The potential of emerging technologies, policy advancements, and international collaborations in achieving substantial and sustainable methane emissions reductions. |
| 17:30 | CHAIRMAN’S CLOSING REMARKS |
| 17:40 | COCKTAIL RECEPTION |
| AGENDA, DAY TWO | |
