Georges sheds light on how MIQ is tackling methane emissions in oil and gas—a mission with the power to make a huge environmental impact by 2030. From Sarah Week’s big energy gathering to MIQ’s use of advanced tech to pinpoint leaks, this episode covers how certification and market forces are pushing companies to cut emissions. Imagine the potential here: addressing methane emissions could equal taking a billion cars off the road, far outpacing aviation’s reductions. MIQ’s grading system brings transparency, helping both industry players and consumers make informed choices. Georges also dives into the tech and frameworks that make MIQ’s system reliable and scalable, as well as the financial and regulatory drivers encouraging lower methane emissions. Looking ahead, MIQ has its sights set on broad industry adoption and making methane management a global priority by 2030.
