Beyond Compliance: The Need for a Global Network Intelligence Approach

As governments and regulatory bodies worldwide tighten methane emissions standards, the energy industry faces a pivotal moment: compliance is no longer enough. With PHMSA’s forthcoming regulations in the U.S. and stringent methane monitoring requirements emerging in the EU, UK, Australia, Canada, and other markets, operators must shift their approach from reactive compliance to proactive network intelligence.

The EU Methane Regulation is now in effect and contains numerous provisions for the precise measurement, quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of methane emissions, as well as for emission reduction through LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) activities, repair obligations, and restrictions on venting and flaring. 

With LDAR program submissions due in May 2025 and first emissions reports required by February 2026, now is the time to implement a comprehensive, data-driven compliance strategy.

The EU Methane Regulation is now in effect, bringing stringent new requirements for measuring, monitoring, reporting, and reducing methane emissions across gas distribution networks. With deadlines fast approaching, operators must act swiftly to develop a compliant Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) program while ensuring operational efficiency.
