Upcoming Methane Conferences and Events
Li[1] EPA Methane Detection Technology Workshop
Host: EPA
Date: August 23 and 24, 2021
Location: Virtual
Description: This workshop will explore new methane-sensing technologies that are not currently approved for use in EPA’s New Source Performance Standards for the oil and natural gas sector. EPA’s partners and members of the public are encouraged to attend the workshop and see how these innovative technologies could be applied in the oil and gas industry.
Attendees will also be able to visit a virtual "virtual exhibit hall" to see presentations from technology vendors on their new technologies, with a focus on technology capability, applicability and data quality. Be sure to check out Arolytics' presentation on AROfemp.
