The imperative for measuring methane emissions in the US gas industry

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of measuring and reducing methane emissions in the US gas industry with insights from industry experts.

Measuring and reducing upstream methane emissions is critical for US gas producers, particularly as they look to export their product to markets like Europe and Asia, and as the tech industry turns to gas as a key solution to its voracious power demand. In this episode, from the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston, co-host Dan Testa talks with Courtney Loper , head of government relations and public affairs for EQT Corp., one of the largest US gas producers and pipeline operators, about the steps the company has taken to improve methane measuring. Also joining the episode is Ben Webster , director of policy at MiQ, a nonprofit providing data and certifications to understand and reduce methane emissions.
