Overview
Grant Description
Advanced retrofit technologies for methane emission mitigation from compressor stations: Multiple field deployments and demonstrations
The primary objective of this project is to deploy, field test, and permanently install innovative methane emission mitigation technologies at compressor stations across multiple host locations, including the Permian Basin in New Mexico/Texas, the Appalachian Basin in Pennsylvania, and the Southern California region.
The goal is to advance these technologies from full-scale pilot demonstrations at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to commercialization at TRL 8 by the project's conclusion.
The project aims to establish these technologies as standard components of integrated methane emission systems for compressor stations, ultimately achieving near-zero emissions and facilitating future industrial adoption.
