Developing Measurement-Informed Methane Emissions Inventory Estimates at Midstream Compressor Stations

Payne Institute Fellow Arvind Ravikumar, Hugh Li, Shuting Lydia Yang, and Mackenzie Smith write about natural gas transmissions and storage compressor stations accounting for the largest share of anthropogenic methane (CH₄) emissions in New York State (NYS).  Yet, NYS’s CH₄ emissions inventory is based on measurements that are a decade old and potentially unlikely to be representative of NYS operations.
