INDUSTRIAL METHANE MEASUREMENT 28 CONFERENCE
Industrial Methane Measurement Conference
The Industrial Methane Measurement Conference 2017 will put a spotlight onto industry requirements in an increasingly regulated post ‘Paris Agreement’ world. Leading experts will discuss latest fi eld studies and policy developments alongside showcasing cutting edge methods and novel technologies for monitoring fugitive methane emissions including leak detection, identifi cation and quantifi cation as well as long term monitoring.
The event is aimed at: • Industry, including oil & gas, waste management, product& equipment manufacturer sectors, petrochemicals, and agriculture industries • Policy makers and regulators, who set and enforce the requirements for monitoring methane • Scientists and academia, involved with developing the methods and quantifi cation of fugitive emissions • Solution providers and consultants, who work with the above stakeholders in providing consultancy for the measurement of industrial methane emissions
The key themes of the conference will include: an examination of anthropogenic methane emission sources; the assessment of uncontrolled and controlled emissions; current measurement methods, including case studies; relevant international regulations and drivers; industry needs; quality assurance and validation; the interpretation of measurements, and an evaluation of emerging technologies.
The conference themes were chosen by the event’s scientifi c committee which includes internationally respected academics and researchers from NPL (UK), Environmental Defense Fund (USA), Royal Holloway University of London, DBFZ (Germany), Sigma Space Corporation (USA) and TOTAL (France).
Methane is an important Greenhouse Gas, absorbing signifi cantly more energy than carbon dioxide for example, so it performs a major role in global warming. However, the persistence of methane in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon dioxide, so initiatives to lower methane emissions are likely to be effective more quickly. “It is therefore vital that methane emissions are measured accurately and reliably,” says Rod Robinson. “International treaties to combat climate change rely on the quality of emissions data, and amendments to prior estimates can have enormous ramifi cations for industries such as oil, gas, waste management and agriculture.
“Reliable data are also required to inform decision making in the energy sector because different energy sources cause different levels of methane emissions. Methane is also an important component of many fuels, so it is a valuable resource that must be monitored accurately and effectively to avoid wastage and improve effi ciency.
“Conveniently, the PEFTEC exhibition will provide delegates from both Conferences with an opportunity to see the latest technologies for monitoring methane in fugitive, vented and partially combusted emissions from the world’s leading test and measurement equipment manufacturers.”
