Highlights from CERAWeek 2025
CERAWeek 2025 was an amazing opportunity for the Context Labs team to both present our latest offerings to the industry while learning from our peers and partners as they look to the future of carbon management. Let’s take a look back at some of the highlights.
Launching the Open Decarbonization Project
At an evening reception, our team and our partners united to publicly launch the Open Decarbonization Project (ODP), an open-source initiative with industry leaders, NGOs, and entrepreneurs to advance transparency and trust in carbon and methane emissions reporting. Toby Rice of EQT and Mark Gebbia of Williams discussed how our collaboration helps them deliver context and transparency around emissions data and prove their carbon performance, while Hanna Greene and Darryl Willis of Microsoft shared how our work supports Microsoft’s goal of “more energy, less emissions.”
The ODP repository of open-source methodologies brings urgently needed transparency to more accurately represent global decarbonization efforts. Let us know if you are interested in collaborating with us and our partners.
A Podcast on Collaboration
Context Labs Chief Product Officer, Matt Berchtold, joined Edward Lush of Williams and Howard Dieter of Jonah Energy on a CERAWeek podcast hosted by Atul Arya of S&P Global to discuss our collaboration in advancing carbon management strategies through emissions quantification and analytics. Innovation is at the heart of our partnerships as Matt, Ed, and Howard discuss with Atul how advanced data integration and AI applications drive operational efficiency. Measuring and managing methane isn’t always easy, but countless opportunities exist for the future of the energy industry through approaches like ours.
Executive Leaders on Panels
Matt Berchtold joined Morgan Bazilian of Colorado School of Mines, Steven Hamburg of the Environmental Defense Fund, and Emmanuel Corral of S&P Global for the panel “How Is Data Science Informing Methane Reduction Solutions?” to discuss how advancements in data science and sensor technology are enabling more precise methane detection. The conversation emphasized the importance of integrating diverse data sources—such as wind speed and direction—to accurately interpret emissions. Panelists explored the role of AI and knowledge engineering in turning complex data into actionable insights, as well as the potential for digital twins to enhance operational understanding. The session underscored the need for transparency, cross-sector collaboration, and policy-relevant data to drive meaningful reductions in methane emissions.
COO Nathan Brawn shared how our customers are turning carbon management into a competitive advantage by using high-integrity data to drive emissions reduction and transparency. He highlighted a case where synthesizing operational data revealed a simple shutdown condition that cut annual carbon intensity by over 20%. Using Context Labs’ platform, companies reconcile EPA and OGMP reporting, generate third-party verified environmental attributes for natural gas, and trace these from well pad to delivery—with 3rd party verification on a monthly basis. Context Labs is helping organizations meet net zero goals, manage scope 3 emissions, and lead with transparency.
Chris Rezendes, Chief Business Officer at Context Labs, spoke in the Microsoft Agora House on how the DaaS™ Platform enables customers to meet OGMP 2.0 Level 5 standards through end-to-end emissions tracking, verification, and automation. He highlighted how high-frequency, trusted data empowers operational decisions, streamlines compliance, and unlocks commercial value across the energy value chain.
Dan Harple joined Oscar Abbink of S&P Global, Jake Cornelius of Gecko Robotics, and Tanuj Khandelwal of ETAP for a panel discussion on Harnessing Digital Twin Technologies in the Energy Sector at CERAWeek. The conversation explored how digital twins are enabling greater energy efficiency, predictive maintenance, and operational optimization. Dan emphasized the importance of trusted, high-quality data in driving reliable system insights. The panelists agreed that digital twins—combined with AI—will soon become ubiquitous tools for improving performance and accelerating the energy transition.
In the CERAWeek session “AI, Robotics, and Automation: The Next Frontier in Energy Innovation,” Dan Harple of Context Labs joined Jake Loosararian of Gecko Robotics, Cully Cavness of Crusoe, and moderator Dan Bennett of S&P Global to discuss how AI and advanced technologies are transforming infrastructure management, energy efficiency, and decarbonization across industries. The presentations highlighted innovative solutions in asset monitoring, emissions tracking, and computational infrastructure. Dan Harple emphasized the role of AI and trusted data in enabling scalable carbon management and operational transparency while previewing new Context AI capabilities. Collectively, the speakers demonstrated how these technologies are extending the life of critical infrastructure, improving efficiency, and accelerating the transition to a lower-carbon future.
