As Canada increasingly turns to Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) for its energy needs, the imperative to tackle methane emissions along the LNG value chain has never been more critical. Considering the growing use of LNG as a fuel across Canada, this session will explore how we can ensure methane emissions are managed effectively, focusing on:

• Insights into the diverse sources and complexities of emissions
• Exploring advanced materials, such as alloys and coatings, for reducing the likelihood of leaks from legacy pipeline systems
• Examining real-world examples and case studies from Natural Gas production and pipeline operators who have successfully implemented emissions reduction strategies
• Prioritizing 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
