Highwood Emissions Management develops an Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP) designed to provide scalable, audit-ready measurement-informed methane inventories for the oil and gas industry. The platform automates complex analyses and reconciliation processes, transforming raw emissions data into defensible business intelligence to ensure compliance with evolving standards such as OGMP 2.0, Veritas, and MiQ. Highwood also offers expert consulting and education services to support robust methane management strategies.
The company was co-founded by Jessica Shumlich and Dr. Thomas Fox, both recognized experts in methane emissions management. Their combined deep industry experience and technical acumen highlighted the critical need for sophisticated tools and guidance to navigate increasingly stringent global methane regulations, particularly within the energy sector. This insight underpinned the formation of Highwood, leveraging their specialized knowledge to address this growing market demand.
Highwood serves a diverse clientele within the oil and gas sector, from field operations to ESG leadership and the C-suite, helping them manage their methane footprint effectively. The company's vision is to empower operators to meet the world’s toughest methane standards by simplifying reporting, facilitating emissions reductions, and ensuring compliance with confidence, ultimately turning methane complexity into trusted industry progress.

Highwood Emissions Management is a technology company specializing in methane emissions reduction for the oil and gas industry. It offers an integrated solution combining advanced software, expert consulting, and education to help operators simplify methane reporting, achieve compliance with stringent standards like OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard, and reduce emissions effectively. Serving upstream producers, midstream firms, regulators, and industry groups globally, Highwood addresses the critical challenge of methane management by providing audit-ready, measurement-informed methane inventories and actionable insights that turn compliance into a competitive advantage[1][2][3].
Founded in 2021, Highwood emerged from the recognition that traditional ESG software and spreadsheets were inadequate for meeting evolving methane regulations such as OGMP 2.0 and the EU Methane Regulation. The company was co-founded by experts including Thomas Fox (CEO), an internationally recognized methane emissions specialist, and Jessica Shumlich (COO), an engineer with deep experience in emissions strategy. Their combined expertise and collaboration with leading oil and gas operators shaped Highwood’s emissions intelligence platform and consulting services, which have since supported over 50 consulting engagements and helped operators managing roughly 10% of global oil and gas production[1][4][5].
Highwood rides the accelerating global trend toward stringent methane emissions regulation and voluntary standards, such as OGMP 2.0, MiQ, and the EU Methane Regulation. The timing is critical as methane compliance increasingly becomes a gatekeeper for market access, contracts, and capital in the oil and gas sector. Highwood’s technology and expertise enable operators to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, optimize emissions reduction investments, and transform methane data into strategic business decisions. This positions Highwood as a key enabler of the energy transition, helping the industry balance operational realities with environmental responsibilities[1][6].
Looking ahead, Highwood is poised to expand its influence by scaling its consulting business and advancing its emissions intelligence platform to support a broader range of clients and regulatory frameworks. Trends such as increased methane fees, growing demand for transparent emissions data, and evolving global standards will shape its journey. Highwood’s holistic approach to emissions management—combining technology, expertise, and education—positions it to remain a vital partner for oil and gas operators striving for near-zero methane emissions and competitive advantage in a decarbonizing energy market[4][6].
In summary, Highwood Emissions Management stands out by delivering a credible, data-driven path for methane emissions compliance and reduction, turning a complex regulatory challenge into a strategic business opportunity for the oil and gas industry.
