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.

Qube Technologies has received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its continuous point-source methane monitoring system. This approval recognizes Qube’s technology as an alternative test method under the OOOO regulations, allowing operators to enhance regulatory compliance, reduce costs, and improve environmental performance through real-time emissions tracking.

Before joining Qube, Byrne spent six years at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California – four as a postdoc and two as a research scientist. This experience at one of the world's premier research institutions helped refine his expertise in greenhouse gas measurements and emissions estimation. 

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.
