What is The Methane Brief?

A bi-weekly dispatch designed specifically for tri-sector leaders in Industry, Policy, and Finance. Every two weeks, we strip away the noise to provide:

  • The Tech Deep-Dive: Moving beyond theory to the actual tools removing methane from coal mines and marginal wells today.
  • The Legislative Pulse: Real-time analysis of EU and US regulations to keep you ahead of the compliance curve.
  • The Investment Roadmap: Strategies to unlock private capital and turn abatement into a high-value carbon asset.

“The industry isn’t ignoring methane—it’s looking for the roadmap.”

Join 1,000+ industry specialists and policy-shapers.

The Clean Exit campaign demonstrated a clear global demand for a pragmatic, technical roadmap to methane abatement. Drawing on 30 years of experience at the intersection of corporate strategy and climate policy in Europe and the U.S., I am launching this dispatch to focus on our most immediate climate lever.

While the broader energy transition is a long-term endeavour, methane abatement offers an immediate opportunity to mitigate global temperature increases. We do not need to wait for a total fossil fuel phase-out to act; we simply need to scale existing technology and mobilise capital.

Bi-Weekly Analysis

Every two weeks, you will receive a curated briefing designed to bridge the gap between policy and profit:

  • The Tech Stack: Technical analysis of the sensors, satellite monitoring, and abatement hardware—such as VAM RTO systems—currently operational in coal mines and marginal wells.
  • Regulatory Intelligence: High-level assessments of how 2026 legislation in the EU and U.S. (including MERR and IRA updates) will impact operations and portfolios.
  • The Methane Market: Insight into the evolving high-integrity carbon credit market and strategies to unlock private investment at scale.
