S&P Global experts present their latest research and discuss topics on energy transition, energy security and trends shaping the global economic and energy landscape.
COP28 saw the announcement of new financing initiatives to accelerate the reduction of methane emissions in Oil & Gas and other sectors. Financing may help to accelerate actions by NOCs in some major oil producing regions, especially in developing economies. In practice, such investments also need collaboration between producers and regulators to ensure alignment on regulatory and fiscal incentives and access to gas infrastructure and gas buyers. What further measures need to be implemented on this new funding? What further collaborations between industries and governments will best ensure early success?
What lessons have been learned from across the Oil & Gas chain when deploying technologies to reduce methane emissions and flaring? Which technologies show the most promise? How do these solutions impact decisions on leak repair programs or on the dialogue between operators, regulators and certifiers about reporting?
S&P Global Commodity Insights will give an overview of ground-breaking analysis into the carbon intensity of North American natural gas supply chains using detailed emissions models, including methane detection from satellites. They will discuss how differentiated supply chains, including certified natural gas, could be compared to S&P Global benchmarking to help demonstrate lower-carbon pathways and emissions reductions.
