In 2024, PETRONAS, in collaboration with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) energy operators and international organisations, launched the second edition of the successful ASEAN Energy Sector Methane Leadership Program (MLP). The MLP is an 18-month program, which focuses on capacity and capability building to strengthen ASEAN energy companies’ plans, targets, and financing options for reducing methane emissions.
Since it was first launched in 2023, the MLP has grown from 13 to 18 members and has provided companies in the ASEAN region with the knowledge and resources to manage and mitigate methane emissions through workshops and masterclasses covering a wide range of topics including:
- Methane emissions measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification technologies
- Strategies for methane emissions reduction
- Policy and financing discussions
The MLP is aligned with the goals of the UNEP Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) and the Global Methane Pledge.
