Built for the EU Methane Regulation.
You have binding obligations under EU/2024/1787. Here's exactly what they are — and how EMRES covers every one.
You're concerned if you operate gas infrastructure in Europe.
EU/2024/1787 applies broadly across the gas value chain. If any of the criteria below describe your operations, you have binding compliance obligations.
O&G Upstream Companies
- Extract, process or transport natural gas in EU waters or territory
- Operate upstream infrastructure (wellpads, processing facilities, pipelines)
O&G Midstream Companies
- Operate high-pressure transmission pipelines (TSO)
- Operate compressor stations or above-ground installations
O&G Downstream Companies
- Operate gas distribution grids at medium or low pressure
- Connected to the high-pressure transmission network
Gas Importers
- Import natural gas or LNG into the EU market from third countries
- Subject to methane intensity verification under Art. 27–29
What is the EU Methane Regulation?
Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 entered into force in August 2024. It establishes binding obligations for upstream oil and gas operators active in the EU — covering measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), leak detection and repair (LDAR), venting and flaring (V&F), and third-party verification.
Under Article 32 of EU/2024/1787, member states are required to establish penalties for non-compliance. These must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive — including fines that can reach up to 20% of the operator's annual turnover for serious or repeated breaches. Competent authorities may also impose operational restrictions or suspend authorisations pending compliance.
EMRES Suite was designed alongside this regulation — every module maps directly to a specific set of articles, making compliance systematic rather than reactive.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 — key figures
Your obligations, article by article.
Each article of EU/2024/1787 maps to a specific EMRES module. Nothing falls through the cracks.
MRV — Source-level reporting
Operators must measure and report methane emissions at source level for all upstream infrastructure, with results submitted annually to the competent authority.
Covered by EMRES ✓LDAR — Survey programme
A regular leak detection and repair programme is mandatory for all components at upstream sites, with defined survey frequencies and documentation requirements.
Covered by EMRES ✓LDAR — Repair deadlines
Detected leaks must be repaired within 5 days (immediately accessible) or 30 days (all others), with documented justification for any extension.
Covered by EMRES ✓Venting & Flaring — Annual report
Operators must report all venting and flaring events, volumes, and justifications annually, with supporting evidence for each event.
Covered by EMRES ✓Flare efficiency ≥ 99%
Flaring systems must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of at least 99%, with continuous or periodic performance verification.
Covered by EMRES ✓Third-party verification
MRV reports and LDAR results must be independently verified by an accredited third party before submission to the competent authority.

Request a demo →OGMP 2.0 — why Level 5 is the target.
The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership framework defines five levels of reporting ambition. EU/2024/1787 mandates Level 4 for most sources, with Level 5 expected for major operators.
Country-level factors
Uses national emission factors from official inventories. Lowest data granularity.
Asset-level factors
Uses asset-specific emission factors derived from regional or corporate data.
Source-category measurement
Measurements aggregated at source category level (e.g. all compressors). EMRES supported.
Source-level measurement
Individual source measurements with defined methodologies per source type.
Top-down reconciliation
Bottom-up inventory reconciled against aerial or continuous top-down measurement.
EMRES natively supports Level 3 to Level 5 reporting. Your methodology is embedded, not bolted on — all calculation methods and report templates are pre-configured for OGMP 2.0. No custom scripting required.
Every article. Covered.
Every regulatory obligation has a corresponding module in EMRES Suite. There are no gaps to fill with spreadsheets.
