NEW IN GAS PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY

Technology to reduce
methane emissions
in Barnett
TotalEnergies plans to deploy an
innovative technology, developed by
Qnergy, to significantly reduce methane
emissions related to its operations in
the Barnett gas field in the U.S. The
solution uses a technology that converts
methane-powered instrumentation
to compressed air-powered
instrumentation, thereby eliminating the
release of methane to the atmosphere
during the process.
During a successful pilot project at
the Barnett site in March 2021, Qnergy's
technology proved to be reliable, simple
to install and easy to operate, allowing
the elimination of up to 98% of the
methane venting emissions related to
instruments using natural gas.
Following successful additional tests,
TotalEnergies has decided to install the
new technology by deploying 100 units
on the Barnett field in 2021 and 2022.
The deployment of 300 additional units
throughout the field will reduce methane
venting emissions from pneumatic
devices by approximately 7,000 tpy
by the end of 2024.
JAX LNG completes first renewable LNG bunkering
facility in the U.S.
JAX LNG, a small-scale LNG facility located along the St. John's River in Jacksonville, Florida,
completed the first fueling of a marine vessel in the U.S. with a blend of LNG and renewable LNG (RLNG).
JAX LNG loaded the RLNG/LNG blend into the Clean Jacksonville bunker barge to fuel the Isla
Bella. The Isla Bella is the world's first LNG-powered container ship and was put into service by TOTE
Maritime Puerto Rico in 2015. Element Markets supplied the renewable natural gas (RNG) used to
produce the RLNG via renewable thermal certificates (RTCs). Using RLNG to fuel marine vessels is a
readily available pathway to net-zero emissions by 2050. RLNG's emissions profile as a maritime fuel
is superior even to that of LNG, which already reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than
25% over ultra-low sulfur diesel.
Decarbonization of the transport sector has greatly accelerated using regulatory incentives
such as the alternative fuel tax credit, which encourages companies to adjust operations and make
investments in assets that reduce carbon intensity.
Produced from the decomposition of organic waste, RNG is compatible with existing natural gas
infrastructure, providing a practical and replicable source of energy that mitigates and repurposes
carbon emissions. For this bunkering event, RTCs were matched to the physical LNG loaded into the
Clean Jacksonville to create the RLNG/LNG blended product.
Axens, Arol Energy sign license agreement
for Connect'In technology
Axens and Arol Energy have signed a license agreement for Axens' Connect'In® technology.
This service offer will now be proposed by Arol Energy to its biomethane producer customers.
By collecting and continuously processing industrial data, the digital tool provides performance
monitoring, which can be used to provide optimization recommendations. The overview of the
operation of the units allows customers to clearly identify improvement opportunities. They are
then able to maximize the economic performance of the connected units by making regular
adjustments to the operating parameters. By offering Connect'In® to its biomethane producer
customers, Arol Energy enables them to maximize and secure the production of biomethane with
the required qualities for its reinjection into the network.
