Andris Piebalgs Interview Andris Piebalgs is former European Commissioner for Energy (Barroso I) and for Development (Barroso II), currently with the prestigious Florence School of Regulation (European University Institute) in Fiesole, Italy. 

For what we were interested in this dialogue, it was  noteworthy that Piebalgs was the Chair of the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) Implementation Committee. We talked international politics of methane and the energy facet of the war in Ukraine.

Her main fields of expertise concern EU institutional relations and EU electricity and gas regulation.

She spent about 9 years in Brussels, working for the the Permanent Representation of Italy at the EU, the United Nations and, from 2005 until 2013, for EFET, the “European Federation of Energy Traders” covering various positions within the association. 

Professor Conti joined the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) in 2015 as Energy Policy Deputy and in 2017 she was appointed Head of the new FSR Gas area.

 She is author and co-author of many scientific articles and position papers, actually, until 8 years ago she was the Managing Editor of the publication “Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy” that belongs to the International Association for Energy Economics.

We met in 2022 in qualities of master and disciple (I was the student, obviously) at the European University Institute in Florence – in the beautiful little town of Fiesole up on the hills west of Florence - where you, professor, were part of the teaching staff in a course that dealt with high quality regulation in areas such as climate and energy.

Mitigation: How Do You Solve a Problem like Methane? So if methane is this big a problem, what tools do we have, and are we using, to solve it? The first global agreement that methane was a problem came in the form of the Global Methane Pledge announced at COP26 at Glasgow in 2021. What’s happened since then, especially in the industry with the easiest to abate emissions: oil and gas?

We look at the International Methane Emissions Observatory, the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership, the new EU regulation on methane and proposals for financial instruments to help bring emissions down.

Natural gas is the ideal bridge fuel to support the global energy transition, or so the story goes. But what about methane emissions? Environmentalists want us to throw it on the pile of the other fossil fuels and doom it to the past. The energy community says: Not so fast. Where are we on our energy transition journey when it comes to natural gas and if we’re going to invest in it going forward, what are the implications of the methane problem for our chosen direction to a renewable future?

We embark on a methane hunting expedition of our own and talk to the coordinator of one of the world’s largest methane studies on the difference between estimated and measured emissions in the oil and gas sector.

In this second episode of our podcast, we delve into the complex world of methane emission sources.

We’ll also touch on why so much emphasis is placed on the emissions from oil and gas.
