TotalEnergies
and Clean Energy
launched the
construction of their
first biogas unit
TotalEnergies and its U.S.
partner Clean Energy launched
the construction of their first
biomethane production unit, in
Friona, Texas. Biomethane will
be used as an alternative fuel
for mobility, thus contributing to
decarbonize road transportation.
Located on the Del Rio dairy
farm, the facility will be fueled by the
onsite supply of livestock manure
to produce more than 40 GWh of
biomethane per year. The biomethane
will be distributed in the U.S. by Clean
Energy through its network of fueling
stations, enabling the supply of
renewable gas to between 200 and
300 trucks per year.
By processing cow manure,
a significant source of methane
emissions, and substituting fossil
fuels with renewable energies, the
project will avoid some 45,000 tpy
of CO2
e emissions.
FCI launched technology to measure methane
Fluid Components International (FCI) debuted the ST80 Series Thermal Mass Flow
Meter to measure methane and provide accurate emissions data for companies to meet
environmental regulations and reporting requirements.
The ST80 Series uses hybrid sensor drive adaptive sensor technology (AST). This
measuring technique combines constant power and constant temperature thermal
dispersion sensing technologies. The meters have also been approved internationally for
use in Div.1/Zone 1 environments.
The ST80 offers a choice of four precision flow sensor element designs, one of which is the Wet Gas
MASSter sensor developed for the ST80 Series. The Wet Gas MASSter optimizes the sensor head design and
installation to prevent condensation droplets, entrained moisture or rain from contacting the thermowells.
The meters are suitable for pipe diameters from 1 in.-99 in. and air/gas temperatures up to 850°F. They
feature an accuracy of ±1% of reading, ±0.5% of full scale and repeatability of ±0.5% of reading with flowrates
ranging from 0.2 ft/sec-1,000 ft/sec (0.07 m/sec-305 m/sec) and 100:1 turndown.
ExxonMobil, Scepter Inc. to deploy satellite technology
for real-time methane emissions detection
ExxonMobil and Scepter, Inc. have agreed to work together to deploy advanced satellite technology and
proprietary data processing platforms to detect methane emissions at a global scale. The agreement has
the potential to redefine methane detection and mitigation efforts and could contribute to broader satellitebased
emissions reduction efforts across a dozen industries, including energy, agriculture, manufacturing and
transportation.
In the first phase of the project, the companies will design and optimize the plan for satellite placement
and coverage, initially focusing on capturing methane emissions data from ExxonMobil operations in the
Permian Basin. Scepter will deploy satellites in 2023 and increase coverage to more than 24 satellites over
3 yr, forming a large constellation network capable of monitoring operations around the world.
Scepter's satellite detection technology has shown the ability to accurately collect data on methane, while
also identifying sources of CO2
, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and other greenhouse gases. When combined
with ExxonMobil's data from ground-based sensors and aerial surveys using advanced analytics, Scepter's data
platform allows the company to further establish information regarding its methane emissions performance.
