Handheld Measurement:
Identifies and quantifies leaks component by component
Handheld camera:
Visualizes leaks (no measurement)
Innovation with the private sector
Methane Detectors Challenge
Stationary “24/7” monitors identify and estimate leaks in real time
Mobile Monitoring Challenge:
Drones, trucks and planes frequently scan for leaks; send automatic alerts to
- perators
Digital methane:
AI‐enabled machine learning algorithms predict and prevent methane emissions

Why EU can act and what it can do
- EU consumes nearly half of internationally traded gas
- As long as gas is in Europe’s energy transition, methane
must be addressed
- The window of political opportunity for ambitious actions
is open
- Leverage EU position as net buyer to ensure upstream
methane emissions management in third‐country producers
– And address methane emissions in European TSO & DSO
SLIDE 11
Our recommendations in practice
- 1. Ensure that all gas produced, imported and used in the EU
complies with strict methane emission control requirements.
- 2. Capitalize on science and technology to help us improve the
measurement and monitoring of methane emissions.
DEFINITION BENCHMARKING REPORTING CERTIFICATION
Vision for a post-2020 European Gas Market reform
Tackle emissions today and create the framework for Europe’s sustainability tomorrow
