Inside this episode

The conversation explores the industry’s shift from “alternative energy” toward measured, verified energy as the new gold standard. It’s powered by empirical data, evolving regulations, and emerging verification frameworks.

Thomas shares his journey from PhD research in methane emissions to building Highwood Emissions and launching the Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP), a software solution designed to help operators create measurement-informed inventories at scale.

Together, they dive into the realities of methane reporting: reconciliation challenges, OGMP Level 5 requirements, EPA and Colorado regulatory approvals. They also explore why harmonization across global reporting frameworks remains one of the industry’s biggest hurdles.

The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on how collaboration, technology, and credible data may finally unlock real market incentives for low-methane energy.
