The report will help to “end speculation about actual in-use
methane leaks from natural gas stations and vehicles,” he
said.
That study will be based on research to identify the sources
of leaks as well as technologies that could be developed to
stop them, conducted by experts at West Virginia University,
the University of Texas, Washington State University, and
Colorado State University, NGVAmerica said.
Those teams are examining the most common sources
of natural gas leaks, including routine operation of natural
gas vehicles, hydraulically fractured well completions, local
natural gas distribution systems in cities and towns, and the
natural gas transmission and storage infrastructure.
The proposed solutions could help to cap the estimated 6. 3 million metric tons of methane that escaped from
the natural gas value chain in 2013, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency’s latest Greenhouse Gas
Inventory Report.
Freight carriers that have been investing in natural gas
vehicles will be tracking the research results closely.
UPS Freight, the less-than-truckload (LTL) unit of UPS
Inc., said recently it would replace older-generation diesel
engines with 64 liquefied natural gas (LNG) tractors at its
Harrisburg, Pa., location.
In addition, Penske Truck Leasing Co. of Reading, Pa.,
said it would offer commercial cargo trucks powered by
compressed natural gas (CNG) instead of diesel or gasoline
for its renting and leasing customers, thanks to a $400,000
grant from the Department of Energy.
