COP29: TotalEnergies, Oil India to collaborate on methane emissions detection and measurement

TotalEnergies and Oil India Ltd. (OIL) have signed a cooperation agreement to carry out methane emissions detection and measurement campaigns using TotalEnergies’ AUSEA technology at OIL sites in India.

State-owned OIL recently joined the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), a global industry initiative launched at COP28. OGDC’s ambition is to work towards net-zero operations by 2050, as well as near-zero upstream methane emissions and zero routine flaring by 2030, TotalEnergies said in a release Nov. 19. 

With OGDC’s principle of sharing practices, TotalEnergies makes its related technology available to other operators among the signatories, “as an effective and recognized tool to detect, measure and eventually abate methane emissions on their own assets,” TotalEnergies said.
