Intertek signs Memorandum of Understanding with Montrose Environmental Group
01 Oct 2025
Innovative solutions and trusted regulatory compliance expertise come together to help the energy industry reach net zero targets
Houston: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Montrose Environmental Group, a leading environmental science and technology company specializing in fugitive emissions detection, regulatory compliance support and more.
Methane is the largest short-term contributor to global warming, making a reduction in its emissions crucial to achieving Net Zero. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), methane emissions have a global warming potential of over 80 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) over the next 20 years. As a result, the reporting of methane emissions has moved from being a voluntary to a mandatory regulatory requirement in major jurisdictions like the EU, UK, and Canada.
Recognizing the importance of accurate methane emissions monitoring and reporting, Intertek and Montrose Environmental Group are combining their expertise to enhance service offerings, expand market reach, and support global emissions reduction efforts in alignment with regulatory and voluntary frameworks.
Intertek’s Methane Clear suite of services and tools provides energy companies with accurate and independent measurement and verification for the reporting of methane emissions, supporting compliance with local regulatory regimes and OGMP 2.0 “Gold Standard” methane emissions reporting. Complementing and enhancing this service is Montrose’s extensive experience in emissions management, regulatory compliance, and cutting-edge technology. From fugitive emissions detection using surveying services and optical gas imaging (OGI) technology to precision measurement of emissions for accurate quantification, the combination of Intertek’s and Montrose’s trusted expertise is highly valuable to energy companies striving to meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.
Bertrand Mallet, Executive Vice President of Intertek Industry Services said: “Sustainability is the movement of our time, and addressing global warming is a key concern for all. Methane emissions are a significant contributor to global warming, and Intertek’s Methane Clear solutions help our clients fulfill their requirements and achieve their goals in methane mitigation and reduction. Intertek is pleased to partner with Montrose to complement and enhance each other’s services to give our clients a comprehensive approach to their OGMP 2.0 measurement, verification and reporting needs and their overall goals to address global warming.”
“Methane is one of the most powerful levers the energy sector has to accelerate climate progress, and accurate measurement is the first step toward meaningful action,” said Jared Metcalf, Senior Vice President, Air Compliance, Montrose Environmental Group. “Montrose has been a catalyst for many of the world’s leading oil and gas producers in shaping and advancing their methane reduction strategies. This collaboration with Intertek strengthens our ability to help global operators translate climate ambition into measurable progress, delivering trusted, science-based data that not only supports compliance, but more importantly drives innovation, operational excellence, and lasting value.”
