As part of its initiative for continual progression and lasting growth, TotalEnergies (Paris: TTE) (LSE: TTE) (NYSE: TTE) reveals release of a cutting-edge technology developed by Qnergy, to dramatically reduce methane discharges connected to its procedures on the Barnett gas area in the United States.
An ingenious and also effective innovation
The remedy suggested by Qnergy uses an innovation allowing to convert methane powered instrumentation to compressed air powered instrumentation, therefore getting rid of the release of methane to the atmosphere during the process.
During a successful pilot project at the Barnett site in March 2021, Qnergy’s innovation proved to be reputable, easy to set up as well as easy to operate, permitting to eliminate as much as 98% of the methane venting emissions associated with instruments utilizing gas.
Adhering to successful extra examinations, TotalEnergies has decided to install this brand-new innovation by releasing 100 units on the Barnett field in 2021 and also 2022. The release of 300 extra devices throughout the field will minimize methane venting discharges from pneumatically-driven gadgets by about 7,000 loads a year by end 2024.
From now on, new developments on the Barnett area and across the Company will certainly be made without instruments utilizing natural gas.
“To fully play its role in the energy shift, especially as a substitute for coal, the integrated natural gas chain must restrict its methane exhausts as much as possible. We have actually effectively demonstrated the efficiency of Qnergy’s technology on the Barnett area. By right away deploying this modern technology on our US onshore procedures, we are actively demonstrating our dedication to decreasing our very own methane exhausts by 20% between 2020 and also 2025,” stated Carole Le Gall, Senior Citizen Vice Head Of State Sustainability & & Climate at TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies’ performance in decreasing methane exhausts is just one of the most effective in the sector. The company has cut its emissions by close to 50% given that 2010, via actions concentrated on different sources– such as flaring, venting and also fugitive discharges– and also by complying with rigid style standards for new tasks to guarantee that methane exhausts are close to absolutely no. The Company has already lowered regular flaring by more than 90% because 2010 as well as has actually vowed to remove the method by 2030.
TotalEnergies’ attained to lower the methane exhausts intensity of its operated gas centers to below 0.1% in 2020. The Company has actually currently set a purpose of a further 20% reduction of absolute methane discharges from its run oil and also gas properties in 2025 compared to 2020.
In November 2020, TotalEnergies signed onto a second stage of the United Nations Environment Program’s Oil as well as Gas Methane Collaboration (OGMP 2.0), supporting a wider, more ambitious reporting framework reached cover the whole gas worth chain and non-operated possessions.
