Abstract:There are a growing number of technology providers approaching Local Distribution Companies with tools and instruments that need to be tested and validated for the acceptable application in the gas distribution environment. Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) currently lack a standard test protocol for assessing technologies claiming to be capable of quantifying methane emissions. The LDCs’ need for test validation of these tools and instruments generates from the drive to add quantification of methane emissions to the process for prioritizing pipe repair and replacement for non-hazardous leaks. If the accuracy of a technology is validated, then the LDC operator can consider its use. NYSEARCH members who supported this project agreed that an independent process is necessary to be defined and tested for validating claims and data provided by third party contractors for methane emissions measurements. The overall objective of this project is to develop a standard method for validating methane emission quantification technologies. This validation process is intended to be used to assess any technology that claims to quantify methane emissions within the gas distribution environment.
