The Methane Masterclass covers methane science, methane reduction strategies and planning, measurement techniques, technologies, policy updates and where to get guidance and support.The course duration is six hours total and it is delivered on-line over three sessions or over one day in-person.
Session 1
The first two-hour session is designed for executives as well as frontline managers. It focuses on the business case and political imperatives around methane mitigation, while providing an overview of best practice and emerging technologies.
Sessions 2 & 3
The next two sessions are interactive, designed for those on the frontline to understand best practices for detection, measurement and quantification, flaring, venting and different ways to reduce methane emissions across the value chain. The instructors are matched with practitioners who will share recent case studies and discuss the technologies that are emerging to support methane mitigation.
“The masterclass offers a unique opportunity to learn from world-class instructors in sustainability and to hear directly from experts who are implementing best practices for methane reduction in their organizations.”
Camilla Williams, Manager of Emissions Management, TC Energy
Masterclasses
Intended Learning Outcomes
Understand
The imperative to reduce methane emissions and the opportunity to leverage methane reductions to address climate change
How to identify the potential technological and operational sources of methane emissions
How to estimate global methane emissions from all anthropogenic sources, and particularly the contribution from oil and gas supply chains
Identify
The business-case benefits associated with methane management with respect to revenue loss, safety and social license to operate
The key requirements of successful methane management via a gap assessment tool
Appraise
Appraise your own company’s methane management strategy and plan for improvement
Categorize
Categorize the nature and distribution of methane emissions arising from different stages of the supply chain and apply this understanding to your assets or in your company’s context
Explore
Explore the impact of super-emitters, what they are, why they occur and how they may be tackled
Define
Define best practices in methane management and learn how to apply them at different stages of the natural gas value chain
Evaluate
Evaluate key mitigation options associated with each best practice, with respect to technical feasibility, cost-effectiveness and other key determining factors in investment decisions, using a best practices cost model
Classify and Differentiate
Classify and differentiate the many methods of estimation, measurement and reporting of methane emissions, with respect to their costs, benefits and limitations
Case study
Nedgia: Commissioning with Vacuum Pumps
A case study on how Nedgia mitigated methane released to the atmosphere when a new section of network is commissioned.
GRTgaz: Abating Vented Emissions in Transmission Networks
Describes different solutions deployed by GRTgaz to reduce venting on its transmission network and to recover or reduce pipeline maintenance vents, compressors vents and smaller vents on delivery stations
