Highwood Emissions Management

The market for verified low-methane gas is projected to grow from $160B today to $400B by 2031. Verified emissions data is the entry requirement. Waiting on EUMR compresses the timeline and risks market access. Briefing 001 examines what is at stake, and where the most durable path lies.

Most methane inventories were built for voluntary reporting, not reasonable-assurance verification. Under the EU Methane Regulation, that gap carries a price: exclusion from a verified low-methane market projected to reach $400B by 2031. Briefing 001 examines where inventories fail under audit, and the most durable path to closing the gap.

A measurement-informed inventory is not a one-time calculation. It is an operational data system that improves year over year. Start with a few technologies, incorporate them, and refine the process. Briefing 002 examines the four components of a defensible MII, and a practical path to building one that withstands verification.

How often do you hear and learn from your peers?

Top-down campaigns can discover emissions that traditional inventories miss, sometimes by significant margins. Measurement-informed inventories were designed to close that gap, but the standards have yet to provide clear methods. Highwood's Briefing 002 examines the four components of a defensible MII, and where programs break down.

At Highwood's 2026 Innovation Forum, 97% of operators polled said they maintain two or more methane inventories. Data management consumes most of the time that could go to analysis and mitigation. Briefing 002 examines the four components of a defensible MII, including the reconciliation process that the standards leave undefined.
