Methane (CH4) monitoring is a key element of industrial safety, environmental control, and process supervision. Due to its flammability and wide explosive range, methane requires continuous and reliable concentration measurement in both confined and open industrial environments. In addition to explosion hazards, methane ...
The IEA estimates that nearly one-third of methane emissions may be reduced using commercially available technologies. ...
The Foundation and Failure of NSPS OOOOa The EPA introduced nsps ooooa in 2016 as the first comprehensive federal effort to regulate methane and VOCs along the oil and natural gas value chain. It targeted affected facilities constructed after September 2015, including well completions, centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, and pneumatic ...

The global energy sector is undergoing a regulatory shift that makes high-precision methane quantification mandatory rather than voluntary. With EPA OOOOb and OOOOc finalized and EU methane regulations advancing, operators must rely on Optical Gas Imaging to meet compliance obligations and demonstrate verifiable emissions data.The Regulatory Shift: From NSPS OOOOa to the OOOOb/c EraFor nearly a ...

Foodlink Inc has been at the heart of the Greater Rochester community since its founding in 1978. Originally established to rescue and redistribute surplus food to emergency food providers, Foodlink has grown into a dynamic organisation tackling food insecurity through a range of innovative programmes that extend well beyond traditional food banking. Today, Foodlink not only distributes ...
The EPA continues to accelerate its methane reduction strategy by tightening performance standards across the petroleum and natural gas sector. Two major components of this regulatory shift are OOOOb and OOOOc, each addressing different stages of industry activity. While operators are becoming familiar with the OOOOb summary that outlines requirements for new, modified, and reconstructed sources, ...

Introduction: OOOOc - The Next Step in Methane Regulation As global attention on methane intensifies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to roll out new standards aimed at reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector. Following the introduction of OOOOb, the agency is now advancing OOOOc, a complementary rule targeting existing oil and gas sources rather than new ...

Introduction: The Evolving Landscape of Methane Regulation Methane has long been a focal point in global climate policy — and in 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to sharpen its focus through updates to its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). One of the most significant developments is the Subpart W Proposed Rule, which updates the framework for reporting ...

Research in animal digestion traditionally uses in vivo techniques with live animals, but a recent study from researchers at the University of Padova highlights how BPC Instrument’s Gas Endeavour can be utilised to perform in vitro tests in the lab to study methane production and kinetics. Understanding animal digestion, particularly the production of methane by ruminant animals, such as ...
Introduction: Why Methane Detection Matters in Energy Transition As industries around the world navigate the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, methane remains at the center of climate discussions. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential over 80 times that of carbon dioxide in the first 20 years after release. Reducing methane emissions has become a global ...

Introduction: Why Camera Leak Detection Matters Gas leaks pose significant safety, environmental, and financial risks. Methane and other volatile compounds are invisible to the naked eye, but even small leaks can lead to catastrophic accidents, regulatory fines, and lost revenue. For decades, industries relied on handheld sensors that could only measure one point at a time. Today, a camera leak ...

Introduction: Why Methane Regulations Are Evolving Methane emissions have become one of the most pressing challenges in environmental regulation. Although methane accounts for a smaller percentage of greenhouse gases compared to carbon dioxide, its warming potential is over 80 times greater in the short term. This makes methane a critical target for climate action, particularly in the oil and ...

In an effort to reduce the methane emissions footprint in midstream compression station applications. Solar Turbines and Williams have commissioned a process vent recompression system at two different stations. Both stations operate two Titan 130 gas turbines driving C75 ...
Introduction: Regulations Driving Innovation Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential over 80 times stronger than CO2 over a 20-year horizon. For oil and gas operators, controlling fugitive methane emissions is no longer optional – it is a regulatory and reputational necessity. ...

The first few months of 2025 have been among the most economically turbulent in recent history, but despite this there are still signs anaerobic digestion (AD) will continue to play a key role in boosting energy security, tackling climate change, and managing organic wastes. The global biogas market was estimated to be worth USD 65.53 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand 4.2% per year ...
The waste management compactor solutions and trash management system include several key stages: collection, where waste is removed from homes and industries; sorting, which separates recyclable materials from those requiring special treatment; and disposal or recovery, where waste is recycled, composted, incinerated, or sent to controlled landfills. Key components of a waste ...
