Reducing methane pollution is an essential pillar of Canada’s climate plan: a plan that includes a rigorous target of reducing emissions by 40% by 2025 with hefty fines for missing the mark.
With that deadline looming, government and industry are exploring new and innovative ways of tackling greenhouse gas pollution.
In this free webinar, we convened a panel of experts to discuss the future of methane emissions management and how technologies such as AI will impact the energy sector.
Panelists:
David Wares - Sales Director, Western Canada, GHGSat
David Wares attended Queen’s University where he attained a Chemical Engineering degree. He has been in the energy industry for 16 years with time at Shell (in their Green House Gas Department), Weatherford, Pason and most recently joined GHGSat to help clients utilize satellites, aircraft and analytics to decarbonize their activities and the planet we all share.
