The project focus was to improve the characterization of methane (CH4) emissions currently detailed in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHGI) for categories of assets within the Natural Gas (NG) distribution system to isolate what is driving inflation or deflation behind current, nationwide, aggregated Emission Factors (EFs). These specific categories included industrial/commercial NG customer meters, modern and vintage plastic pipe, along with plastic-lined steel and cast-iron pipe. CH4 emission rate data was gathered during 25 sampling campaigns at industrial/commercial meter sites, vintage and modern plastic pipe sites, as well as plastic-lined steel and cast-iron sites located within NG distribution networks.
