Systematic Third-party Validation of Environmental and Economic Performance of Methane Reduction Technologies (STV) Steering Committee

STV is supported by a broad partnership of operators, government regulators and policymakers, and innovators with PTAC as a neutral third-party facilitator to generate complete field-based performance for a cohort of methane reduction technologies, thus providing operators with information to confidently purchase equipment at scale and benefiting stakeholders, governments, innovators with local market growth and a launchpad for exports.

STV removed a critical barrier (knowledge gap) to reducing methane emissions while returning the oil and gas sector to an economically strong engine that provides high-quality employment. To date, 26 subprojects have been installed and are continuing to operate, generating information and learnings for industry. Deployment at scale of the project technologies is expected to yield a GHG emissions reduction of 55 million tonnes per year.
