Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) has committed funding to 12 innovative methane-reducing technology projects. The projects target methane emissions monitoring, detection and reduction in the oil and gas, power generation, agriculture and forestry sectors.
The new initiatives are the result of the ERA Methane Challenge, developed with the cooperation of the Government of Alberta, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) and Pembina Institute among others.
“These investments are critical to ensuring that Alberta is the preferred source of responsibly produced oil and natural gas,” said Joy Romero, Vice President, Technology and Innovation at Canadian Natural Resources Limited.
