As part of its commitment to identify, quantify and reduce
methane emissions linked to its operations, TotalEnergies
(Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) is partnering with GHGSat to
develop a satellite imaging technology to monitor potential methane
leak occurrences at offshore facilities.
This new technology, known as "Glint Mode", annuls interference
effects on data acquisition by observing sun glint on the ocean
surface. This satellite imaging can be combined with local
measurements for which TotalEnergies has developed the ultra-light
AUSEA(1) drone-mounted spectrometer, considered to be the most
accurate in the world.
TotalEnergies and GHGSat have been working together since 2018
to refine methane emissions measurement thresholds in order to
detect increasingly smaller emissions so that leaks can be
prevented as far upstream as possible. In October 2020, the
partners set a world record at TotalEnergies' TADI(2) testing
complex, which is equipped with leading-edge detection resources,
by successfully quantifying the smallest controlled leak detected
to date. TotalEnergies and GHGSat are taking a new step with this
initiative and will be conducting six satellite observations in
Glint Mode of TotalEnergies offshore sites.
"As part of a continuous improvement program, TotalEnergies has
decided to initiate a new stage in its collaboration with GHGSat to
develop an innovative satellite mapping technology suited to
offshore infrastructure. This technology will build on the methane
emissions measurement system for which TotalEnergies holds the
accuracy record and strengthen our position as a pioneer in
developing methane emissions monitoring technologies," said
Marie-Noëlle Séméria, Chief Technology Officer at
TotalEnergies.
"GHGSat is excited to expand its emissions monitoring work with
TotalEnergies. By adding offshore measurements to its portfolio of
satellite, airborne and analytical capabilities, GHGSat continues
to enhance its services for market leaders like TotalEnergies,"
declared Stéphane Germain, President of GHGSat.
This partnership builds on TotalEnergies' commitment within the
United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Oil and Gas Methane
Partnership (OGMP) to reduce the industry's methane emissions.
Controlling Methane Emissions: A Priority for TotalEnergies
TotalEnergies' performance in reducing methane emissions is one
of the best in the industry. The Company has cut its emissions
nearly in half since 2021 by focusing on different sources -- among
them flaring, venting and fugitive emissions -- and by complying
with stringent design standards for new projects to ensure that
methane emissions are close to zero. The Company has already
reduced routine flaring by more than 90% since 2010 and has pledged
to eliminate the practice by 2030.
TotalEnergies' objective is to maintain emissions intensity
below 0.2% of commercial gas produced for oil and gas facilities
and below 0.1% for gas facilities. In 2020, these figures stood at
0.15% and below 0.1%, respectively, in line with the Company's
targets.
In November 2020, TotalEnergies signed onto a second phase of
the United Nations Environment Programme's Oil and Gas Methane
Partnership (OGMP 2.0), supporting a broader, more ambitious
reporting framework extended to cover the entire gas value chain
and non-operated assets.
