The upcoming webinar will feature Emils Lagzdins, Senior Officer – Security of Supply and Methane Emissions at IOGP Europe, who will deliver expert analysis on how the EU Methane Regulation could reshape Europe’s energy landscape.
This session is designed as a strategic deep dive for stakeholders preparing for regulatory change ahead of the Go Net Zero Energy CEE Summit 2026.
The EU Methane Regulation is expected to be one of the most influential policy frameworks affecting the European energy sector this decade. Its impact could rival — or even exceed — that of recent geopolitical disruptions.
Even with proposed adaptations that recognize up to 10 supplying countries as compliant, significant risks remain for Europe’s energy imports and pricing stability.
As-is implementation risks:
Adaptive compliance scenario (US, Norway, Qatar, Canada and others deemed compliant):
These figures highlight the scale of potential disruption and reinforce why methane policy is now central to discussions at major net zero events across Europe.
The webinar will explore how methane regulation intersects with broader energy security and affordability challenges. Key discussion themes include:
Participants will gain insights into advancements in OGMP 2.0 Level 5 reporting and industry-wide efforts to reduce methane emissions.
The regulation may significantly influence import flows, contract structures, and market pricing mechanisms across Europe.
A core focus will be how policymakers and industry players can align ambitious climate goals with the realities of secure and stable energy supply.
The session will highlight urgent adjustments needed to ensure the regulation remains pragmatic and workable ahead of full implementation timelines in 2027.
This pre-summit session is essential for professionals preparing for regulatory and market shifts ahead of the Go Net Zero Energy CEE Summit 2026.
It is particularly relevant for:
As one of the key net zero events in Central and Eastern Europe, the Go Net Zero Energy CEE Summit 2026 in Bucharest will build on the themes introduced in this webinar, providing a platform for deeper industry collaboration, regulatory alignment, and actionable climate strategies.
The pre-summit webinar ensures participants arrive in Bucharest already informed, prepared, and strategically positioned to contribute to high-level discussions on Europe’s energy future.
Kořensko hydroelectric power plant is currently undergoing the largest modernization in its 34-year history. Operated by ČEZ as part of the Vltava cascade, the multi-million-crown overhaul will replace core machinery across both of its turbine units, resulting in safer, greener, and significantly more efficient operations by next spring.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
ORLEN Group has just secured a landmark deal to acquire a 216 MW hybrid renewable energy complex in Kazimierz Biskupi, marking a significant milestone in Poland’s green energy transition. By pairing a large-scale solar farm with wind turbines, the project aims to power nearly 143,000 households annually.
