Key takeaways:

Natural Gas in Energy Transition: Natural gas and LNG are essential to the global shift toward cleaner energy, and companies must support producers in accurately measuring and reporting emissions to maintain credibility.

Challenges of Emissions Measurement: Capturing emissions data at the source is complex, but having trusted, high-quality data significantly improves operational decision-making and environmental accountability.

Building Trust Through Transparency: Moving beyond assumptions to track emissions at the facility level is critical for building trust with stakeholders, regulators, and the public.

Digital Twins for Operational Insight: Digital twins—virtual models of physical assets—are being used to monitor emissions in real time, enhancing both reporting accuracy and day-to-day operations.

Market and Regulatory Impact: Granular emissions data is increasingly demanded by buyers and regulators, offering companies more flexibility and competitive advantage in how they bring gas to market.
