Main Conference Day 2: Thursday, June 13

1:50 PM IMPROVING METHANE QUANTIFICATION AND MITIGATION ACROSS THE NATRUAL GAS VALUE CHAIN

As the world increasingly turns to Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) for its energy needs, the need to tackle methane emissions along the NG value chain has never been more critical. By gauging the performance and precision of emerging methane emissions detection and quantification technologies in real-world applications, we can provide valuable insights to the industry, guiding them towards the adoption of optimal methods, including advanced and groundbreaking technologies that may not have garnered substantial market adoption. Attend do:


  • Discuss how we can improve emissions quantification though validation and integration of new and existing technologies to develop a multi-scale quantification network which provides an accurate depiction of methane emissions along the supply chain
  • Prioritize characterization of methane emissions from each element in the gas production, processing, and transport chain, including evaluation of specific components such as pipelines, valves, pneumatic controllers, compressors, and storage tanks
  • Explore advanced materials, such as alloys and coatings, for reducing the likelihood of leaks from legacy pipeline systems
