Fugitive gas release

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) processes from existing structures, such as legacy wells, can be an effective way for removing carbon from the Earth's atmosphere. However, containment of methane is paramount to their success.

Fugitive gas releases refer to the unintentional or irregular emissions of gases, often from industrial activities. These emissions can occur from various sources such as pipelines, storage tanks, wells, and other equipment.

Our field-focused experts are at the forefront of driving knowledge about the environmental consequences of methane leakages, with the aim of understanding incidence rates, causes, and pathways.
