EQT Corporation today announced its commitment to seek independent certification of a majority of its produced natural gas under certification standards developed by Equitable Origin and MiQ.
The role of finance in reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector as part of the clean energy transition.
Certification can significantly reduce methane emissions and simplify complex import regulations for the EU.
We believe there is a significant opportunity to adopt a standardised global methodology for determining methane emissions across the LNG value chain.
Along with the need to tackle CO2 emissions, methane leakage is now rising to the top of the agenda of the energy sector, with many gas and LNG buyers in Europe set to consider the issue in contractual negotiations with suppliers.
Environment Journal talks to Georges Tijbosch, senior advisor at MiQ, an independent, not-for-profit partnership that aims to facilitate a reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.
Methane certification has the potential to help the new priorities by providing companies with the means – and motivation – to reduce their methane footprint and by helping government regulators develop rules for emissions by setting standards for these emissions.
On 4th February, we hosted our first event as MiQ, which focused on the role differentiated natural gas can play in methane abatement efforts.
If LNG is going to compete against other energy sources for its place as part of the energy transition, then the non-transparent nature of the industry must change, and fast.
The certification of gas supply based on its methane emissions performance could become a key component in global gas trade in the future, a senior official at a newly launched methane emissions partnership said in an interview with S&P Global Platts.
If LNG is going to compete against other energy sources for its place as part of the energy transition, then the non-transparent nature of the industry must change, and fast.
On 4 December 2020, MiQ’s George Tijbosch will be speaking at a joint webinar organised by the Florence School of Regulation and the Environmental Defense Fund – ‘The impact of the EU methane strategy on the natural gas market’.
A new certification process will aim to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas production.
A new certification process will aim to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas production.
The Rocky Mountain Institute has paired up with Systemiq to produce a grading system that could put a price on methane intensity.
The future must be powered by 100% clean energy. Our mission is to reduce the climate impact of methane emissions from the oil and gas sector until we get there.
France’s Engie has halted its commitment to a long-term US liquefied natural gas (LNG) import contract with NextDecade Corp estimated at US$7 billion.
Leading efforts for more accurate measurement and reporting, as well as effective mitigation measures for methane emissions, which are critical to meeting global climate targets.
During the past few months, I have watched with growing excitement as Europe has been gathering momentum around the European Green Deal.
Whether we can avoid exceeding 1.5°C of warming depends on the global gas industry’s willingness to solve the most important problem…
