Project description
Carbon Limits published a report on technologies that can address the emissions along natural gas value chain to deliver almost zero emissions natural gas to the point of combustion. The study examined a number of approaches to address the emissions including CCS applied to acid gas removal plants but also to other large CO2 sources, electrification of the equipment, and intermittent gas flaring mitigation for midstream installations. As part of the project, CL staff:
- carried out literature review on emissions from natural gas value chain and best practices/emerging CO2 abatement technologies.
- carried out several interviews with technology providers to understand the technologies and to understand existing best practices
- carried out techno-economic assessment based on current and upcoming technologies
- prepared a report summarizing key findings from their interviews and presented the potential abatement of CO2 from natural gas value chain
