Session 12. Oral Presentation for: Beyond CO2: why methane slip measurement matters for gas producing facilities

Presented on 20 May 2026: Session 12 In Australia, gas producing facilities must report greenhouse gas emissions under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007 and comply with the Safeguard Mechanism if their total emissions exceed 100,000 tonnes CO2-equivalent (CO2-e) per year. Emissions are measured in CO2-e, which accounts for all covered gases weighted by their global warming potential (GWP). Methane (CH4) is explicitly listed as a covered gas. Methane has a GWP of 28, me
