Veritas: Standardizing Methane Emissions in the Gas Supply Chain
Launched by GTI Energy in September 2021, Veritas is a collaborative initiative to develop methane emission measurement standard protocols across the gas supply chain from production sites to distribution networks. Its ambition is to set methods and rules that will support credible, transparent, and comparable emission assessments to accelerate and reward abatement efforts. It is the link between governmental organizations such as the United Nations through OGMP and the US EPA that define and enforce requirements on the one hand and gas operators that collect data and implement abatement measures on the other hand. The challenge for Veritas is to walk the fine line between relevance and business neutrality. It both aims to provide guarantees about the quality of emission reporting and to leave operators the choice of technologies and methods that best serve their needs.READ MORE>>
