Bringing together the story of emissions abatement and carbon strategy in Oil and Gas

Everywhere you look, companies are talking about emissions abatement, reaching net-zero targets, and buying carbon credits to offset their emissions. But how do organizations figure out exactly how much Carbon they are reducing or offsetting? What is the reality of scaling low-carbon economies, and how is this supported by Carbon market mechanisms and Carbon pricing starting up in Oregon, California, and Washington State? New for 2024, the Carbon Management Americas conference will answer these questions and any others related to the carbon markets. Register your interest now for updates.

Themes on the horizon:

Discover carbon innovations in oil and gas and the market outlook for energy transition
— Advance in methane reduction by moving from estimation to actual measurements
Paving the way for low Carbon solutions and economies with the latest climate technology (CCUS)
Deep dive into US compliance carbon markets and policy accelerating net-zero
— Focus on the balance of decarbonization and offsetting alongside voluntary carbon market pricing
