Cut methane. Reduce leakage. Get your solution in play

19 May 2026
The Hub

Britain’s gas networks are moving into delivery mode on emissions and leakage reduction — and we need proven ideas and credible partners now.
In this session, GB gas networks will set out our Innovation Strategy, near-term priorities, and where we’re actively looking for solutions across detection, prevention and repair.
This isn’t a showcase. It’s a working session.
Bring your technology, challenge our assumptions, and help shape what gets trialled, funded and scaled over the next two years. You’ll leave with a clear view of where the opportunities are, how projects are selected, and the routes to deployment across the networks.

 

If you’re serious about getting solutions adopted — this is where to engage.

We’ll tackle:

  • Where methane reduction can be delivered fastest and at scale
  • What’s deployment-ready vs what still needs proving
  • How funding will be used to de-risk and accelerate adoption
  • The critical barriers holding back rollout
  • The collaboration models that actually work in practice
