CSU researchers led by Daniel Zimmerle, director of the CSU Energy Institute's Methane Emissions Program, are co-founders of the new Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab, headquartered at The University of Texas at Austin with additional partners at Colorado School of Mines.
“Generally speaking,” Zimmerle, “something like half or more of the emissions come from a small percentage of the emitters.” (Houston Chronicle)
With the capacity to run demanding, complex simulations where visiting crews must hunt for multiple small leaks at a time, CSU's METEC is the only facility of its kind in the country (Mother Jones).
The Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center is like a movie set for the oil and gas industry, complete with wellheads that leak on command. It's where companies test new products. CGTN's Hendrik Sybrandy reports.
