MiQ launches new digital registry with crude oil capability and readiness for EU methane requirements.

MiQ launches new digital registry with crude oil capability and readiness for EU methane requirements. MiQ, the not-for-profit global leader in methane emissions certification, today announced the launch of its new MiQ Registry at FLAME conference. The new MiQ Registry has capabilities to support crude oil certificates for the first time, and it will help the market prepare for the EU's upcoming monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) requirements. The new MiQ Registry marks the first time a registry of this kind has been designed to support crude oil certificates alongside gas certificates. MiQ is expected to announce the certification of a crude oil production facility in the coming weeks, further demonstrating that methane certification can apply beyond gas assets. The MiQ Registry is a secure electronic ledger where MiQ Certificates are held throughout their lifecycle from issuance to retirement. It facilitates a market for low emissions oil and gas by providing buyers and sellers with independent, third-party verified information on methane emissions performance, while also preventing double-counting and double-issuing and ensuring the authenticity of certificates. Georges Tijbosch, CEO of MiQ, said: "Without trusted and independent registry infrastructure, how can industry, governments, regulators, and civil society have full confidence in methane emissions reports? MiQ's mission is to accelerate reductions in methane emissions globally by providing trusted, independently verified information to the market, and the MiQ Registry is a fundamental part of that effort." The new MiQ Registry builds on its previous iteration which has been used to support the certified gas market for over five years. MiQ now certifies more than 7% of global gas supply, with around 28 billion btu of certified gas currently held on the MiQ Registry. The new MiQ Registry has been designed to support compliance with the EU Methane Regulation, including international LNG and crude flows when combined with MiQ's Certificate Inter-Regional Import System (CIRIS). CIRIS is a bespoke certificate tracking system combining elements from book-and-claim, trace-and-claim, and mass balancing systems. The MiQ Registry can hold other independent, third-party verified certificates issued under different standards. In addition to MiQ Certificates, the Registry supports certificates issued under Equitable Origin's EO100(TM) Standard for Responsible Energy Development. MiQ has also recently partnered with the Ammonia Energy Association for registry services. MiQ is a not-for-profit organisation with the mission of addressing methane emissions globally. With no shareholders and no commercial stake in the outcome of any certification, MiQ's certification system relies on independent third-party verification, and its standards are publicly available on its website to ensure transparency and accountability. Thursday 21 May 2026 11:45 Following the completion of the deal, Comtec will continue to operate as usual from its existing locations, with no immediate changes to its name, day-to-day activity, customer contracts, delivery schedules, staffing levels or points of contact.

AEA partners with MiQ to launch global ammonia certification system and registry

The Ammonia Energy Association has partnered with MiQ to launch the AEA Ammonia Certification System, a global voluntary certification programme designed to facilitate transparent international trade of low-emission ammonia. The system, which entered its pilot phase in October 2025, uses independently verified data to help producers, traders and consumers demonstrate environmental attributes including carbon footprint and origin. The AEA Ammonia Registry, built and operated by MiQ, provides digital infrastructure for secure data transfer and traceability across the supply chain. The pilot phase encompasses pre-certification for facilities under construction, certification for operational facilities, and a global registry supporting three chain-of-custody models. Early participants include plants across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific using various production pathways including electrolysis and natural gas with carbon capture.

MiQ appoints Jordan Bitterman as Global Chief Marketing Officer. NEW YORK & LONDON-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Global programmatic media partner MiQ announced today the appointment of Jordan Bitterman as Global Chief Marketing Officer. Jordan, who has served as CMO in a consulting capacity since January, now steps into the permanent role, building on a period of transformation for the company in both technological innovation and global growth. Earlier this year, Jordan led the successful global launch of MiQ Sigma, the company's AI-powered advertising technology, authoring its new positioning, and helping to create sales and marketing assets both globally and in local markets around the world. He and his team orchestrated high-impact events, including an internal rollout, a standout client engagement at Cannes Lions featuring live demos to senior clients, and a roadshow series across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. His leadership comes as MiQ is continuing to expand its footprint in high-growth regions such as APAC and LATAM, deepening partnerships with clients and partners, and elevating its brand profile across the industry. With more than 30 years of industry experience, including 23 years at leading advertising agencies and eight years as a CMO at media and technology companies, Jordan brings a unique blend of agency insight and AI expertise to MiQ. His formative agency background gives him a deep understanding of the needs of agency leaders. His work at IBM, where he helped commercialize AI-driven data products and integrate The Weather Company into IBM Watson, places him at the forefront of data-driven marketing innovation. "Since joining MiQ, Jordan has made an immediate and lasting impact," said Erin Madorsky, MiQ's Co-CEO for the U.S. "His vision and leadership were instrumental in the global launch of Sigma, and his ability to connect our teams, clients, and partners around a shared purpose has set a new standard for what marketing can achieve at MiQ. We're thrilled to have him lead our marketing organization as we continue to grow and innovate." Gurman Hundal, MiQ's Founder and Global CEO, added, "Our growth is accelerating, and Jordan's appointment as Global CMO is a testament to our commitment to supporting our sales teams and clients even more fully. His agency background and expertise in AI-driven marketing will be invaluable as we continue to expand into new markets and deliver even greater value to our partners." Jordan has also held influential leadership roles at media agency Mindshare, where data played a central role in shaping strategy, and at digital agency Digitas where he co-launched the NewFronts in 2007. He is the creator of the Special Sauce Podcast, where he hosts discussions with leaders in advertising, media and technology. Jordan Bitterman said, "Agencies have always been the heart of my career, and I'll continue to bring that perspective and experience to MiQ. Having worked at - and with - major holding companies, independent agencies, and brands, I understand what matters to those leaders and how MiQ can help them succeed. The passion and creativity of our marketing team represent the horsepower fueling MiQ's momentum, and that energy is what inspired me to join full time. Together, we'll continue to raise the profile of our brand, drive innovation, and support our global clients and partners." We're not your average programmatic media partner.
