The disclosure contains correspondence and a work program from the Fugitive Methane Expert Panel established to advise the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The Panel, operating with established governance arrangements and meeting schedule, is undertaking five workstreams to assess atmospheric measurement technologies for estimating fugitive fossil methane emissions. These workstreams focus on: establishing shared understanding of the Panel's mandate and relevant schemes (NGER and National Greenhouse Accounts); determining current scientific understanding of top-down atmospheric measurement approaches; evaluating their potential integration into the NGER scheme; identifying research gaps and technology advancement needs; and planning advisory reporting mechanisms. Workstream 0 is substantially advanced, with the Panel scoping detailed technical, operational, financial and regulatory information requirements to support remaining workstreams. No specific emission quantification or regulatory decisions are documented in this excerpt.
