The Clean Air Task Force issued a paper in December 2020 mapping out a pathway to reduce sector emissions from new and existing oil and natural gas sites.
With these 3 measures, we can reduce methane emissions from oil and gas:
Key Measure 1: Frequent Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR).
Key Measure 2: Replace gas-driven pneumatic equipment.
Key Measure 3: Eliminate routine venting and flaring.
Reducing methane emissions from oil and gas extraction will result in significant benefits to our environment, our economy, and our children.
