Could green hydrogen be key to a carbon-free economy?

GreenBiz

And what energy product will be used both to power this city and sell to the world? The Saudis are going big on something called green hydrogen — a carbon-free fuel made from water by using renewably produced electricity to split hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules. This summer, a large U.S. This summer, a large U.S.

Methane emissions from gas flaring being hidden from satellite monitors

The Guardian: Energy

Use of enclosed combustors leaves regulators heavily reliant on oil and gas companies’ own flaring data Oil and gas equipment intended to cut methane emissions is preventing scientists from accurately detecting greenhouse gases and pollutants, a satellite image investigation has revealed. Continue reading.

UK substantially underestimates its methane emissions from oil and gas production – and many other countries probably do too

Envirotec Magazine

A newer, more accurate method for calculating methane emissions from offshore oil and gas production suggests that the United Kingdom severely underestimates its greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers conclude that as much as five times more methane is being leaked from oil and gas production than reported.

Affordable methane detection

Envirotec Magazine

The GF77 from FLIR Systems is said to be an affordable, handheld methane detection camera allowing inspection professionals to actually see invisible methane leaks and other industrial gases at natural gas power plants, renewable energy production facilities, and other locations.

Camera-based study reveals methane leaks far worse than expected in New Mexico region

Envirotec Magazine

The airplane-mounted sensor used by the researchers to detect methane leaks from oil and natural gas production in the New Mexico half of the Permian Basin. Environmental watchers and energy industry engineers fear that leaks from mines, wells, refineries, storage facilities and pipelines are vastly underreported.

Making light of the matter: Thoughts on measuring methane

Envirotec Magazine

Gas leak measurement is germane to the realisation of goals such as the Global Methane Pledge. Originally proposed by the US and EU in September 2021, the Global Methane Pledge will see countries acting to cut methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030. How do leaks occur?

Sensitive methane sensing on a budget?

Envirotec Magazine

Researchers have developed a new sensor that they suggest could allow practical and low cost detection of low concentrations of methane gas. Measuring methane emissions is important because the gas contributes to global warming and air pollution. The new sensor uses an interband cascade light emitting device (ICLED).
