I do hope the methane community takes note of this and responds. www.ifrs.org/content/dam/...

What do we do with the gas grid when gas demand is in terminal decline? In my talk at the University of Oxford given this week I draw on years of work we have done at @regassistproj.bsky.social & set out the challenge & solutions. Watch a recording of my talk here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zcd...
