Methane emission estimation method for the gas distribution grid

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.

How to monitor methane flare emissions with Flare.IQ

This case study was presented by Gerard Bottino at Baker Hughes and Peter Evans at BP during the Methane Guiding Principles 2023 Masterclass. BP and Baker Hughes discuss improving flare performance and methane destruction efficiency using continuous monitoring technologies.

Updated cost-effectiveness tool & report for US

This report, commissioned by CATF (https://www.regulations.gov/comment/EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317-0845) is to be used as an annex to the 2016 report, ‘Zero emission technologies for pneumatic controllers in the USA’. This report presents advancements in the zero-emission controller technologies presented in the 2016 report, and newer technologies suitable in this context.

Small scale technologies for using associated gas

This report examines small-scale technologies designed to utilize associated gas, which is often flared or vented during oil production.
