Leak quantification unlocks the potential to implement methane abatement programs in order to reduce emissions and meet emission reduction targets/goals. The leak sizes in the distribution system span over several orders of magnitude, and prioritization is the key strategy to have an effective methane abatement program. 

In this discussion, we will go over each of the utility’s implementation plans and how they are using the Picarro mobile detection and quantification system to reduce emissions.
