Major gas pipeline operators pledge to cut methane emissions, report leaks

摘要

More than 20 gas pipeline operators last week pledged to reduce methane emissions from pipeline and storage infrastructure and to do more to share information on methane releases and reduction efforts. The companies - including major operators Kinder Morgan, TransCanada, Williams, Enbridge, Cheniere Energy, Dominion Energy and Consolidated Edison Transmission - committed to installing lowemissions pneumatic controllers, minimizing emissions during maintenance and repair work, upgrading certain emissions-prone aspects of transmission and storage compressors, doing more leak surveys, and reporting methane emissions.
