The ever-evolving regulatory landscape in the energy sector presents both challenges and opportunities for those trying to navigate it.
The EPA’s final rule demands greater transparency and accountability for methane pollution from oil and natural gas facilities by improving the accuracy of annual emissions reporting from these operations. Additionally, new regulations from the EU have set a timeline for US natural gas producers to comply with new standards for the measurement-based quantification, reporting, and verification (MRV) of methane emissions if they wish to continue accessing the EU market.
So, what can producers do to comply?
The Industrial Decarbonization Network recently caught up with B.J. Carney, Vice President Geoscience & Innovation at Northeast Natural Energy, the first U.S. natural gas producer to receive the EO100™ certification and the first company in the Appalachian region to achieve an “A” rating from MiQ for almost its entire production, to hear insights for the best ways to comply, and how Northeast Natural Energy has achieved such status.
In the exclusive interview, B.J. says: “We’re the first producer in the world to achieve ‘A’ grades in both the MiQ and EO certification processes. This journey began about five years ago when we embarked on our methane mitigation efforts.”
“At the time, we were early movers in the certification space, alongside the certification bodies themselves. We learnt and understood the landscape together, and as we gained more knowledge and experience, we adapted our processes and systems accordingly.”
