Please join the Payne Institute for Public Policy at the Colorado School of Mines as experts in the field present at the Accelerated Methane Reduction Symposium:  Harnessing Natural Gas to Achieve Energy Security & Climate Goals on Thursday, March 6 and Friday, March 7, 2025 in Golden, CO. 

America’s allies and trading partners have turned to U.S.-produced natural gas as a source of geopolitical stability and as a cleaner alternative to gas from other countries with lesser environmental standards.

At the same time, the science of detecting, quantifying and reducing fugitive methane and other greenhouse gases is rapidly advancing at the Colorado School of Mines and partner institutions.

In March, the Payne Institute for Public Policy will convene experts and stakeholders to explore how the latest science and other innovations are being used to:

• Track the progress of fugitive methane reduction initiatives
• Compare the emissions profile of U.S. natural gas to other sources in global energy markets
• Strengthen U.S. energy security and stabilize global energy markets; and
• Accelerate the pace of fugitive methane reductions in the U.S. and abroad.

This will be our 3rd annual symposium exploring these subjects as part of the recently renamed Payne Institute Accelerated Methane Reduction Initiative.
