Biogas Coal Oil & Gas Cross-Sector

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) is committed to contributing innovative scientific and technical education and research to India and the world and serving as a valuable biogas resource for industry and society.



Gemidan Ecogi A/S operates three food-waste pre-treatment systems in Denmark that treat food waste to produce a high-quality pulp (�bio-pulp�) for centralized anaerobic digester facilities.



Solucycle manages food waste with their SoluRobot technology. The system allows restaurants and caterers to divert organic waste matter to biogas facilities and track greenhouse gas reductions.



Source Facility and BioCity partnered to address operational challenges of biogas systems in India. Together, they provide local communities with 2,500 kg of compressed biogas per day and help to meet fertilizer needs in rural and urban India.



La Fran�aise de l�Energie (LFDE) assessed and identified practical options to recover and utilize the gas from Northern France�s abandoned coal mines. Annual methane emissions reductions for LFDE�s project are estimated at 602,000 TCO2e.



Hydraulic Fracturing of Kuznetsk, LLC is working to reduce methane emissions in Russia through the development of a technology that increases the efficiency of degassing systems in modern coal mines.



Poland created the International Centre of Excellence on Coal Mine Methane (ICE-CMM) to support the Group of Experts on CMM in its capacity-building activities.



The India CMM/CBM Clearinghouse addresses barriers to methane utilization projects in India. Several commercial CMM/CBM projects are scheduled to be implemented in 2020.



The GMA gathers international organizations, non-governmental organizations, financing institutions, and oil and gas companies to support countries in setting ambitious methane reduction targets for the oil and gas industry.

The results of ongoing and future methane science studies will improve understanding of methane emissions at a global level, allowing industry, governments, and other stakeholders to prioritize actions to reduce methane emissions.

The OGMP provides a protocol to help companies manage their methane emissions from upstream oil and gas operations and offers a credible platform to help member companies demonstrate reductions to industry stakeholders.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is working to establish collaborative relationships with several international partners, including Vietnam, Senegal, C�te d�Ivoire, Chile, China, and Mexico.



HAUG Sauer Kompressoren AG produces oil-free and dry-running piston compressors that allow systems to emit zero methane emissions. The estimated emission reductions for each compressor installed at a typical natural gas station is approximately 1,634 TCO2e per year.



Energy Development Limited�s actions have reduced methane emissions by 19 million tons of CO2e annually. This equates to removing approximately 5.7 million cars from the road every year.



The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented several voluntary programs to promote cost-effective recovery and use of methane. EPA shares the expertise and experience gained through the voluntary domestic programs as part of its commitment to the Global Methane Initiative.
