The University of Oklahoma has received funding from the Department of Energy to improve the prediction, sensing, monitoring and reduction of methane and natural gas emissions. This comprehensive research effort aims to advance technology to enhance monitoring and quantify natural gas emissions and support an essential industry need for carbon accounting - how organizations track greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate change.
"Since the launch of the Lead On, University strategic plan in 2020, the University of Oklahoma has been strengthening research efforts around energy and environmental sustainability," said Tomás Díaz de la Rubia, Ph.D., OU vice president for research and partnerships. "From internal support and investment in this research, OU is growing efforts to advance the hydrogen economy, leading the commercialization of fusion energy, and supporting natural gas emission detection, monitoring and reduction."
The projects will receive an expected $9.63 million over five years from the Department of Energy and associated support from industry, academia and other research organizations.
