In a context of rapid technological evolution, new detection and monitoring capabilities are transforming the way governments, companies, and international organizations understand, manage, and regulate methane emissions in energy systems.
However, the challenge is no longer limited to expanding detection capabilities, but rather to building monitoring ecosystems capable of connecting different scales, stakeholders, and decision-making processes. The session will explore how large volumes of data can be transformed into actionable information that supports regulation, operational management, and effective methane mitigation.
The panel will bring together perspectives from atmospheric science, satellite observation, technological innovation, regulation, and energy operations to discuss how different tools can complement one another within multi-scale monitoring architectures. It will also address challenges related to emissions attribution, interoperability, institutional response, and data validation.
Drawing on experiences in super-emitter detection, alert and response systems, offshore monitoring, and asset-level measurement, the discussion will provide a practical perspective on how to strengthen transparency, traceability, and response capacity, contributing to the development of lower-methane-intensity energy systems in Latin America and the Caribbean.
