PR703-252013-R01 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Compendium

Pipeline Research Council International launched in 2020 the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategic Research Priority, or GHG SRP. This SRP bridged multiple technical committees, including Com-pressor & Pump Station, Measurement, and Integrity & Inspection. In total, the SRP funded over 30 individual research projects that advanced the state of knowledge and art as related to technol-ogy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the pipeline industry. Despite the unification of pro-jects by objective (i.e., reducing GHG emissions), there exists the risk of losing the collective knowledge and directed effort toward the objective due to individualized nature of each project. Thus, a need exists to collect in summary fashion the high-level summary and conclusions of each individual project in a single document, thereby making all the GHG SRP research accessible through inclusion in this compendium.

The compendium herewith integrates the high-level summaries and major conclusions from each individual project funded through the GHG SRP.

The target audience for this compendium includes a broad range of stakeholders, including entry-level engineers seeking to understand the full scope of GHG emission issues and technologies to abate them, mid-level engineers and decision makers working to develop and deploy technology, and upper-level executives seeking to provide long-term direction to their organization’s environ-mental impact mitigation plans and strategies.
