Training Course on Methane Emissions Measurement, Reporting and Mitigation

Introduction

The urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has made methane emissions a critical focus in global climate action. Methane is more than 80 times more potent than CO? over a 20-year period, and addressing methane emissions from oil and gas, agriculture, and waste sectors is essential for meeting net-zero targets. Training Course on Methane Emissions Measurement, Reporting & Mitigation offers a comprehensive framework for methane measurement, emissions tracking, reporting protocols, and mitigation technologies aligned with current global regulatory and voluntary frameworks such as the Global Methane Pledge and OGMP 2.0.

This course equips participants with the technical tools, data handling skills, and mitigation strategies needed to identify methane sources, apply advanced monitoring techniques, and implement data-driven reduction initiatives. Through real-world case studies and practical training, attendees will be prepared to develop compliance strategies, leverage digital tools for emissions monitoring, and contribute to sustainable environmental practices and climate resilience.
