The key themes from this conference were the following:
- AI and Compliance – Exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming emissions tracking and regulatory compliance.
- New Industry Perspectives – Fresh voices shared insights into evolving emissions challenges and solutions.
- 2025 Regulatory Outlook – Examining key shifts in emissions regulations, reduction targets, and stakeholder priorities.
Key Takeaways from Conference Sessions
Investor Insights: Navigating the Energy Transition (Jason Stanley, Position Green)
- Global Regulations – EU leads with CSRD and TCFD, while the US faces deregulation, and Canada aligns with ISSB standards.
- Investor Demands – Renewable energy underperforms, increasing pressure for higher returns while meeting emissions goals.
- Engagement Strategies – Investors prioritize materiality and partnerships to showcase the financial value of sustainability.
Unlocking ESG Data Strategies for Emissions Tracking (Amanda Ahrens, DOW)
- Expanding Data Requirements – Increasing data collection frequency, scrutiny, and audits due to shifting regulations.
- Data Complexity – Aggregation from ERP, CEMS, invoices, and other systems requires seamless integration.
- Solution – An integrated data hub enhances automation, scalability, and carbon footprint tracking.
Global Trends Shaping US Emissions Policies for Scope 3 Reporting (Dmitriy Monakhov, Baker Hughes)
- Scope 3 Importance – 70% of corporate emissions stem from supply chains; mandatory reporting by 2027.
- Regulatory Landscape – Europe leads with CSRD and CBAM, while US and Canada tighten disclosure rules.
- Action Plan – Companies must collect supplier emissions data, adopt global frameworks, and invest in digital tools.
Making Decarbonization Part of a Digital Roadmap (Troy Engstrom, Chevron)
- Reduction Goals – 35% CO2 intensity reduction by 2028, net-zero Scope 1 & 2 by 2025.
- Digital & Energy Transition – Investing in renewable fuels, hydrogen, CCUS, and operational efficiencies.
- Vendor Evaluation – Using Scope 1, 2, and 3 calculators to track product carbon footprints.
Methane Monitoring: Best Practices & Compliance (Chevron, Gaia Oratos, Expand Energy)
- Continuous Monitoring – 60% of sites now track emissions 24/7, integrating aerial and sensor-based data.
- Regulatory Preparation – Companies align with 2024 methane regulations and GHG targets.
Energy Policy & Reporting Shifts (Cate Hight, Bain & Company)
- Infrastructure Expansion – AI/data center growth fuels demand for oil, gas, nuclear energy, and new pipelines.
- Regulatory Updates – Potential tax breaks, methane costs, nuclear permitting, and fleet emissions revisions.
- Sustainability & Finance – Reporting shifts from marketing to financial accountability.
