Energy Emissions Modeling & Data Lab
2024 Annual Event
October 22-23 | Austin, TX
The University of Texas at Austin | AT&T Hotel and Conference Center
About the Event
EEMDL’s 2024 Annual Event will bring together experts and decisionmakers to discuss the latest developments in emissions inventories, methane regulations, differentiated gas markets and the global LNG trade.
This work has taken on new urgency, following an agreement reached at United Nations climate talks late last year to accelerate global methane emission reductions between now and 2030. In a related development, a coalition of the world’s largest oil and natural gas producers – representing more than 40% of global production – have pledged to achieve near-zero methane emissions from their upstream operations by the end of the decade.
Major cuts in methane emissions from oil and gas supply chains could slow the pace of climate change more than any other practical step the world takes in the short term. But governments and private-sector entities need better Monitoring, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MMRV) tools to identify and prioritize the biggest methane reduction opportunities and track their progress with credibility and transparency.
EEMDL – a joint research initiative of the University of Texas at Austin, Colorado State University and the Colorado School of Mines – is combining the power of big data, decades of operational expertise and peer-reviewed science to build those MMRV tools.
In addition to reviewing the latest computer-models, data-science solutions and other MMRV tools, EEMDL’s 2024 Annual Event will explore the trends, challenges and opportunities associated with converting ambitious methane reduction goals into real and verifiable methane cuts.

EEMDL’s first annual event, held in October 2023, drew hundreds of professionals working on data-driven climate strategies across the public and private sectors, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Speakers at EEMDL’s inaugural annual event included senior officials with the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. State Department and the UN Environment Programme, alongside leading academics, technology vendors, industry officials and non-profit organizations.
EEMDL leadership and team members are comprised of talented individuals from The University of Texas at Austin, Colorado State University, and Colorado School of Mines.
