Welcome to the Chubb Methane Resource Hub, a digital resource to support Chubb’s oil and gas clients in identifying and adopting methane emissions reduction technologies.
Clients implementing evidence-based methane reduction plans will find information and tools, including a library of best practices, news and a directory of service providers for monitoring, leak protection and equipment.
We plan to update the Chubb Methane Resource Hub from time to time, so visit periodically for information on new tools and services.
The Methane Resource Hub draws on technical expertise and guidance from Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to help companies address methane emission reduction. Watch our multi-part video series featuring Dominic Watson, Senior Manager of Energy Transition for EDF+Business, and Keith Marks, Executive Vice President, Chubb North America Risk Engineering Services to learn more.
Understand the science behind methane emissions and its impact on our climate.
Understand the science behind methane emissions and its impact on our climate.
Why data and information quality will be key for reducing methane emissions.
What are the solutions available to help reduce methane emissions?
Discover the long-term trends in methane emissions reductions, including expected targeting in 2030 and beyond.
Using carbon offsets to decommission them sooner rather than later benefits everyone.
Methane can leak from oil and gas operations in multiple ways and at multiple points.
After carbon dioxide, methane is the second-largest greenhouse gas driving climate change.
The greenhouse gases emitted around the world are the primary drivers of global warming. Scientists agree that significantly reducing these emissions is the only way for us to limit average global temperature rise to less than 2° Celsius, which we must do if we are to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Learn why Methane is such a potent greenhouse gas and understand why reducing emissions produced during the production of oil and gas makes both sound business sense and delivers one of the most positive climate impacts over the next 10-20 years.
Learn why Methane is such a potent greenhouse gas and understand why reducing emissions produced during the production of oil and gas makes both sound business sense and delivers one of the most positive climate impacts over the next 10-20 years.
Regulators, NGOs and academia all point to the fact that reducing venting and flaring has a tremendous positive impact on reducing methane emissions during the production of oil and gas. Find out the key steps oil and gas companies can take now to reduce the impacts of flaring.
Learn how methane finds its way into the atmosphere when extracting oil and gas and understand best practice solutions that can be implemented now to significantly curtail emissions and even produce revenue instead of letting salable gas escape into the air.
A leak detection and repair (LDAR) program is a comprehensive set of activities designed to identify, monitor, and mitigate fugitive emissions and leaks of volatile organic compounds and methane.
Energy companies face a chronic challenge in their operations: The production, transportation, and refining of oil and gas products frequently results in emissions of greenhouse gases, especially methane. These leaks have environmental and financial consequences. Learn more about how to reduce emissions with an effective leak detection and repair (LDAR) program.
