Your Partner in Achieving MiQ Methane Accreditation
As an accredited Auditing Body for the Methane Intelligence (MiQ) Standard, we are supporting companies in their journey toward methane emissions management excellence. The MiQ Standard is a comprehensive framework developed and maintained by MiQ to assess and grade methane intensity, company practices, and monitoring technology deployment. It focuses on fostering a culture of emissions management and continuous improvement, driving the rapid reduction of methane emissions in the oil and gas sector.
In response to new regulations—such as the European Union Methane Regulation, independent verification, like that offered through MiQ, is becoming a regulatory requirement.
Maximize the Value of MiQ Certification for Your Operations
MiQ Certification empowers operators to credibly demonstrate methane emissions reductions and process improvements over time, while also enabling them to market and sell certified gas to buyers with emissions reduction reporting obligations. By achieving MiQ certification, companies can differentiate their gas production and ensure the validity of their assessments through MiQ’s non-conflicted system and independent audit process. With access to the MiQ Digital Registry, operators gain a single source of truth and verification, while also opening doors to new regions and markets through MiQ’s unique certified Life-Cycle Analysis.
