This week’s Highwood Bulletin features pledges to eliminate methane, IEA Methane Tracker, a new report by GTI on methane technology, a report on CDP targets, a podcast on methane emissions, conferences, courses, hiring and more.
OGCI Companies to Eliminate Methane by 2030
Last month, the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI) announced that all member companies had committed to net zero by 2050. In early March, these companies took it one step further by committing to eliminate methane emissions from oil and gas by 2030. Read about the “Aiming for Zero Methane Emissions Initiative” from OGCI and in Reuters.
Report: IEA Methane Tracker
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released their Methane Tracker report. New data presented in the report suggests that methane emissions are 70% higher than governments report and that most methane emissions could be avoided at no net cost, assuming today’s elevated gas prices. Read about the report in The Guardian or download it from IEA here.
Report: GTI Evaluation of Emerging Technology
A new report by Gas Technology Institute (GTI) examines the performance of a range of methane detection and quantification technologies. The report supplements real data provided by industry with LDAR-Sim modeling to explore a range of technology application case studies. Download the free report here.
Report: Few Companies Have Credible Targets
Podcast: Reducing Methane Emissions

Report: Highwood Publishes Free Report on Pipeline Methane Detection Technologies
**Update: Translated to Chinese** Methane emissions from pipelines are of increasing interest to industry, regulators, and end users as they seek to understand the carbon intensity of natural gas across the supply chain. In recent years, there has been significant innovation in methane detection technology for detecting and quantifying methane emissions from gathering, transmission, and distribution pipelines. In a new report, Highwood Emissions Management provides an overview of commercially available methods for detecting natural gas leaks from pipelines.
