1:40 PM The Emissions Journey: Managing Emissions Across the Entire Natural Gas Value Chain

Natural gas is the largest source of primary energy production in the United States and is expected to play a crucial role in energy security and an important role in economic security through 2050 under all EIA scenarios. With this in mind, it is imperative to adopt comprehensive strategies for managing emissions across the entire natural gas value chain to mitigate methane. Join our expert panellists as they:


  • Give insights into the diverse sources and complexities of emissions
  • Explore advanced materials for reducing the likelihood of leaks from legacy pipeline systems
  • Prioritize characterization of methane emissions from each element in the gas production, processing, and transport chain, including evaluation of specific components such as pipelines, valves, pneumatic controllers, compressors, and storage tanks
  • Champion strong communication and collaboration across the value chain to gain a clear oversight of emissions and promote sustainability
