    This informative four-day event brings together stakeholders from government organizations, regulatory bodies, oil and gas producing companies, service and supply companies, research centres, and academic institutions to discuss and collaborate on various aspects of oil and gas methane emission detection, mitigation, and reporting, such as: regulations, policies, research, technology development and deployment, and best practices, to meet the 45% methane reduction target by 2025.

    This year we are also introducing two Net Zero areas: Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Hydrogen. Bringing together experts in this field, we will explore topics such as creating revenue from CO2, technologies and innovations to reduce costs, increasing the sales and the transportation of hydrogen.

    This forum will discuss current and future opportunities challenges facing the Canadian oil and gas industry, and take a closer look at the current state of challenges and opportunities available to support technology innovation and new practices.
