EPA Deregulation and Methane Monitoring: What Operators Need to Know

The EPA is pushing its most aggressive deregulatory effort yet, aiming to roll back key methane regulations. However, legal and procedural roadblocks could stall or block these changes, leaving operators in regulatory limbo. For now, existing EPA rules—like quarterly LDAR inspections—remain in full force. With legal battles expected to drag on for years, proactive methane monitoring is essential for compliance, asset integrity, and investor confidence. Stay ahead of the uncertainty—here’s what you need to know.

Congress Votes to Repeal EPA’s Waste Emission Charge (WEC) Implementing Rule

Congress has voted to repeal the EPA’s Waste Emissions Charge (WEC) rule, also known as the methane fee, which imposed financial penalties on large methane emitters in the oil and gas sector. While this eliminates the direct fee, EPA methane reporting requirements and state regulations still apply, meaning operators must continue monitoring and reporting emissions.

How Continuous Monitoring Maximized the Value of Biogas for Roeslein Alternative Energy

This pilot showed that leaks do not occur at consistent intervals or emission rates. In fact, just 5% of the detected leaks represented ~55% of the total emissions over nine months of data collection. This distribution is similar to the oil and gas sector, where research has found that the top 5-10% of leaks represent 60-80% of emissions.
