Oil and gas giant Neptune Energy has partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to measure methane emissions from offshore rigs with drones. Methane is a component of natural gas and a greenhouse gas required to be reduced according to the Paris Agreement.
The oil and gas company will work with Scientific Aviation and UK-based Texo DSI to use drones equipped with emissions sensors. The company will soon begin to measure its emissions at its off-shore rigs over the coming months.
