Methane Cost Model

The Methane Cost Model provides the user with a screening tool to support the identification and evaluation of potential methane reduction projects across the natural gas supply chain. The model can be used for screening options during both the early design phase of a project as well as for modifications to existing operations.

The screening tool comprises 7 individual Workbooks which address different methane sources across the natural gas supply chain. The Methane Cost Model is aimed at project engineers and operational personnel who are required to evaluate different methane emission reduction projects. Instructions for each Cost Model are contained within the Workbooks.
