United States: TotalEnergies and Qnergy Deploy an Innovative Technology to Reduce Methane Emissions on the Barnett Field
As part of its effort for continuous progress and sustainable development,
An innovative and efficient technology
The solution proposed by Qnergy uses a technology allowing to convert methane powered instrumentation to compressed air powered instrumentation, thus eliminating the release of methane to the atmosphere during the process.
During a successful pilot project at the Barnett site in
Following successful additional tests, TotalEnergies has decided to install this new technology by deploying 100 units on the Barnett field in 2021 and 2022. The deployment of 300 additional units throughout the field will reduce methane venting emissions from pneumatic devices by approximately 7,000 tons a year by end 2024.
From now on, new developments on the Barnett field and across the Company will be designed without instruments using natural gas.
“To fully play its role in the energy transition, notably as a substitute for coal, the integrated natural gas chain must limit its methane emissions as much as possible. We have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of Qnergy’s technology on the Barnett field. By immediately deploying this technology on our US onshore operations, we are actively demonstrating our commitment to reducing our own methane emissions by
Reducing methane emissions is a priority for TotalEnergies
TotalEnergies’ performance in reducing methane emissions is one of the best in the industry. The company has cut its emissions by close to
