Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Mitigaton and Monitoring Technology Performance: Activities of the GHG Technology Verification Center

摘要

The paper discusses greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and monitoring technology performance activities of the GHG Technology Verification Center. The Center is a public/private partnership between Southern Research Institute and the U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development. The Center is part of EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program, which has estabished 12 verification centers to evaluate a wide range of technologies in various environmental media and technology areas. The Center has published the results of its first verification: use of a phosphoric acid fuel cell to produce electricity from landfill gas. It have also initated there new field verifications, two on technoogies that reduce methane emissions from natural gas transmissions compressors, and one on a new microturbine electricity production technology.
