Gas leak detection and repair
Gas leak detection and repair (LDAR) projects systematically identify and fix fugitive methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure — including pipelines, compressor stations, and wellheads. These leaks are often invisible and occur continuously, representing a significant source of unaccounted methane emissions in the energy sector. Carbon credits are issued based on the volume of methane prevented from entering the atmosphere.
