European Union Methane Emissions Reduction 2019/942 Ruling: Maintaining Compliance Requires Quantitative Optical Gas Imaging
Recently, the European Union (EU) announced its highly anticipated legal requirement concerning methane regulation. Unlike the recently finalized methane and oil and gas emissions leak detection and repair (LDAR) rules from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) late last year, this rule is significantly more stringent, requiring both detection AND quantification of methane gas. With this additional layer of detail, companies can better understand their emission impact and produce more accurate inventories of methane emissions.

CA Rule 1178: Adding Technology to Fuel Tank Inspections to Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality
In 2024, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which includes all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties in the state of California, passed comprehensive updates to California Rule 1178 (CA 1178) to further reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from organic liquid storage tanks at petroleum facilities within the district. The amended rule establishes more stringent leak detection, repair, and control requirements for storage tanks in gas refineries, bulk storage facilities, and oil production sites.
