Williams Joins Forces With Cheniere to Quantify, Report GHG Emissions

Williams, operator of more than 30,000 miles of North American natural gas pipelines, said Tuesday it would partner with Cheniere Energy Inc. as part of broader effort to study and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) across the sector.

The Tulsa-based midstream giant said it would join with Cheniere, the largest U.S. producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as other midstream companies, methane detection technology providers and academic institutions. The goal is to better understand emissions and further advance technologies and protocols to enhance cleaner energy supply. This is to involve implementing quantification, monitoring, reporting and verification (QMRV) of emissions at natural gas gathering, processing, transmission and storage...
