Since 2020, GEOGAS, with extensive experience in the natural gas market, has been dedicated to finding an alternative solution to mitigate methane releases typically associated with venting and/or blowdowns into the atmosphere during pipeline operations such as repairs, segment replacements, branch derivations, and recertifications. Despite being easy to execute, the venting operation is undesirable for the main reasons:
- Emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) that contribute to global warming at a rate 28 times greater than CO2;
- Waste of valuable energy that has already been processed and is ready for consumption;
- Emission of noise in the surrounding areas.
