Cutting Methane in the Oil and Gas Sector: Progress and Prospects
It's been nearly a year since the Global Methane Pledge at COP26 marked the arrival of the "methane moment" -- and a great deal has happened since then. Please join us for a conversation with Ben Cahill, Senior Fellow at CSIS, who has been a leading analyst on the topic. We will focus on key US policy and regulatory developments aimed at better quantifying and reducing methane emissions -- as well as oil and gas industry responses. The discussion will be moderated by TJ Conway, Vice President of NCAC-USAEE, and Principal at RMI.
