Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP)

Core Features

EIP brings together real‑world measurement data, advanced analytics, and regulatory alignment to streamline methane accounting for the oil & gas industry. Its major capabilities include:

• Measurement‑informed reconciliation and uncertainty analysis — Automates complex reconciliation and uncertainty assessments in minutes rather than months.

• Seamless integration of bottom-up inventories and top-down measurements — EIP aggregates site-level inventory data with measurement inputs from aircraft, drones, and other advanced sensing tools, generating emission factors, reconciling data, and aligning with operational insights.

• Modular compliance across major frameworks — As the world’s first systematized Measurement‑Informed Inventory (MII) workflow, EIP is built to deliver Level 4/5 inventories for OGMP 2.0 (Gold Standard), while also aligning with Veritas Pathways 1–3, MiQ, EU methane regulations, and CDPHE’s GHG intensity rules.

• Expert-backed, partnership-driven design — Developed collaboratively with four leading oil & gas companies via the Emissions Intelligence Steering Committee, EIP was crafted “for the industry, by the industry”—ensuring tailored, real-world effectiveness.

• Built-in guidance for materiality, measurement planning, and emissions factor generation — The platform helps users assess materiality, plan measurement campaigns, upload and revise bottom-up inventories, and generate robust top-down inventories with advanced algorithms, uncertainty quantification, and temporal projections.

• Scalable audit-ready reporting with business intelligence — EIP automates reporting, provides leadership-ready dashboards, scorecards, and standardizes workflows to reduce human error. This consistency enhances scalability across business units and time, supports strategic decision-making, and improves transparency and reputation management.

Closing Insights

Launched in 2025, Highwood’s Emissions Intelligence Platform is gaining traction within the oil and gas sector, with early adopters praising its value. One user has credited EIP with enabling compliance with the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard, the oil and gas reporting and mitigation standard developed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Another user has called it a “game‑changer,” enabling seamless integration of bottom‑up and top‑down data to strategically allocate capital and credibly demonstrate emissions progress.

As of mid‑2025, EIP represents Highwood’s most recent development, positioning the company at the forefront of methane accounting innovation. Still navigating dynamic regulatory landscapes, including EU import rules and CDPHE GHG mandates, Highwood continues adapting EIP to evolving protocols. Beyond software, Highwood strengthens EIP’s value with complementary consulting and training services, delivering holistic support for compliance and emissions efficiency.

For prospective users, the outlook is compelling: EIP offers a rapid, auditable solution for methane accounting, actively developed with industry input and reinforced by real-world feedback. As regulatory scrutiny evolves, EIP serves to enhance transparency, reduce operational risk, and strengthen stakeholder confidence. A demo or trial could be a key step for organizations seeking to elevate their methane management.
