The Domestic Dimension
This session will look at how the Methane Regulation is being implemented across the EU gas value chain since entry into force. We plan to discuss practical experiences from producers, TSOs, and DSOs highlighting what’s working well and what’s still challenging.
Will include the following sessions:
In Practice: expert reports from across the EU gas value chain
How upstream producers have adapted their operations, how TSOs are implementing the Regulation on large-scale infrastructure, and the specific constraints faced by DSOs in urban environments.
Speakers

Martin Kaspar
In Practice: expert reports on monitoring emissions
How to reliably monitor methane emissions? This session will explore innovations to efficiently detect, measure and quantify emissions.
