New Research—monitoring methane emissions from controlled tanks

The BC OGRIS is providing a grant to Modern West Advisory, Inc. to investigate the potential application of methane monitoring equipment and measurement schemes for fugitive emissions from controlled tanks. The research supports the implementations and guidance development for the B.C. regulatory requirement to install fixed monitors and mitigate fugitive methane emissions from controlled tanks. The project is recommended and overseen by the BC Oil and Gas Methane Emissions Research Collaborative (BC MERC) and is anticipated to be complete by mid-April, 2026.
