Coordination meeting of the UfM working group on Gas, Emissions Abatement and Hydrogen
Back-to-back with the annual conference on 16 June, OMEC, organized a coordination meeting of the UfM working group on Gas, Emissions Abatement and Hydrogen on 17 June in Cairo, Egypt. The meeting focused on the future work program of the working group. OMEC presented key topics for the next four years (2026-2029), including methane emissions, CCUS, hydrogen infrastructure, and energy security. The participants stressed the need for proposals from member countries for specific studies, positions, or events to refine the work program and ensure it meets regional needs.
Moreover, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) presented to the WG members its flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation programme; The Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0). This initiative aims at improving the accuracy and transparency of methane emissions reporting in the oil and gas industry.
