MiQ is an organisation providing methane emissions certification. It issued the following statement o the EU’s proposal on Methane regulation –
“MiQ welcomes the European Commission’s proposal to recognise robust certification schemes as practical implementation of the EU methane regulation, aiming to reduce emissions while safeguarding energy security. Bringing methane emissions clearly into the conversation and the regulatory framework is an important step forward.”
“The proposal on certification schemes reflects the approach put forward by six leading industry associations in October; and a recent paper by a group of the three leading NGOs.”
“Independent, third party-verified certification schemes can play an important role in reducing methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain, as highlighted in a recent International Energy Agency (IEA) report. In the United States, MiQ is already independently certifying nearly 25% of production – much more than Europe imports.”
“As EU energy ministers discuss these proposals, clear guidance to industry and national authorities will be essential. Certification schemes offer a practical and readily implementable compliance solution for EU importers of natural gas and crude oil, without the need to reopen the EU methane regulation. MiQ is in advanced stages of piloting the use of its scheme for compliance purposes and looks forward to working with industry and authorities as these rules move towards implementation.”
