Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – Creating accessible and actionable methane emission data for Oklahoma communities.
The goal of this project is to create accessible and actionable methane emission data for Oklahoma communities informed by their desired information needs through the proposed University-Community-Industry-Tribal Nation Collaborative (COLLABORATIVE).
The COLLABORATIVE will detect and quantify mitigation of methane and co-pollutant emissions across economic sectors and train local technicians to capture and understand the data that will drive down local emissions and inform mitigation strategies.
The initial emphasis will be on nine disadvantaged urban and rural communities and seven tribal nations near natural gas and oil-producing basins and transport networks in Oklahoma.
