Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to develop an exhaust-treatment device to reduce uncombusted methane in the exhaust streams of stationary combustion engines used in the upstream oil and gas sector.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Provide a cost-effective, practical methane abatement solution for stationary combustion engines, for which few commercially available solutions exist.
- Strengthen Canada’s leadership in methane abatement and emissions reduction technologies.
- Foster job creation and investment in Canada’s clean-tech sector, while supporting the development of domestic manufacturing and servicing expertise.
- Deliver benefits to industry, including Canadian oil and gas producers, by enabling regulatory compliance while maintaining operational performance.
