This management summary outlines the objectives and findings of the MEEM project, which aimed to develop a consistent and accurate method for estimating methane emissions from the gas distribution grid across Europe. The project identified best practices and optimization potentials of existing methods, defined system boundaries, and categorized emissions into Intrinsic, Incident, and Operational types.
Methane emission estimation method for the gas distribution grid
