Emission Possible: Navigating the New Era of Methane Regulation with Qube Technologies

Executive Summary

• The new EPA Super Emitter Program, effective 2024, introduces stringent methane emission regulations where operators can be publicly identified for large emission events (≥100 kg/hr) detected by third-party monitoring systems like satellites.

• Operators face significant reputational risks and potential financial impacts under this program, with EPA requiring prompt investigation (within 5 days) and public disclosure of super-emitter events on their website.

• Qube Technologies' continuous monitoring platform helps operators reduce their exposure by detecting and quantifying methane leaks in real-time, with customer data showing up to 90% reduction in average emission rates and super-emitter events after implementation.
