If your methane inventory still leans on emission factors, you’re leaving money on the table and adding risk. With Sendero Energy Solutions + Finboot, operators can move to auditable, batch-level actuals in weeks, unlock premium buyers, and future-proof against changing rules.
We recently hosted a webinar with our own David Stewart, Finboot’s Juan Miguel Pérez and energy expert Geoffrey Cann breaking down how verified, auditable methane data is reshaping access to premium markets. This post distills the key takeaways from that discussion. Want to learn more? Watch the full webinar.
Why this matters now
● Regulatory momentum: Import markets are tightening verification. Operators with product-level, verifiable data have a clear advantage.
● Methane leadership wins deals: OGMP 2.0 is the yardstick buyers recognize for credible methane reporting and continuous improvement.
● Premium demand is real: Industrials and hyperscalers with public climate targets pay more for low-carbon inputs and power, if the claims can be proven.
The bottleneck: estimates and fragmented data
Legacy inventories often rely on generic factors and annual roll-ups. The result: pricing that doesn’t reflect reality, audit exposure, and missed access to premium markets that require granular, verifiable data at the batch/cargo level.
The Sendero + Finboot path: actuals you can take to market
Sendero (boots on the ground):
● Site equipment census (separators, valves, fittings)
● Direct methane measurement with OGMP-aligned methods and instruments
● Third-party verification that’s defensible and aligned with permits and OGI programs
Finboot (digital product passport):
● Tamper-evident traceability and chain of custody from wellsite through midstream
● Share-what’s-needed access controls; data remains with the operator
● Rapid deployment (configure, then scale) for complex supply chains
“What about blending and midstream?”
You won’t always get molecular segregation. Use recognized chain-of-custody models (e.g., mass balance or book-and-claim) to pair verified low-carbon inputs with downstream commercial claims—standard practice in other low-carbon commodities.
What EHS leaders get right away
● Audit-ready evidence that aligns inventories with permits and OGMP 2.0 best practice
● Market access to buyers that require verifiable, batch-level actuals
● Speed without re-platforming: configure first, then scale
ROI you can explain to Your Finance Team
● Revenue lift: premium differentials for verified low-carbon gas/liquids and power contracts
● Cost avoidance: fewer audit disputes, fewer reputational hits from misreporting, smoother access to CBAM-exposed customers
● Capex-light and fast: deploy, prove, and expand (no multi-year IT build)
What “good” looks like (EHS checklist)
● Site-level equipment census complete; measurement plan documented
● OGMP-aligned quantification and QA/QC; progressing up reporting levels
● Digital product passport active; buyer-ready views scoped with Legal/BD
● Chain-of-custody model selected per route-to-market
● Internal controls for data access, sovereignty, and disclosure thresholds
Get started in 30 days
Start with a pilot: 3–5 representative sites, direct measurement, a live passport, and a target buyer profile. Typical time to operationalize complex chains: 8–12 weeks.
