Totalenergies, Oil India Partner To Tackle Methane Emissions


(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 20. TotalEnergies and Oil India Limited (OIL) have signed a cooperation agreement to use TotalEnergies' AUSEA technology for methane emissions detection at OIL's sites in India, Trend reports.

The AUSEA system, mounted on a drone, uses dual sensors to detect methane and carbon dioxide emissions and identify their sources, offering one of the most accurate tools available for emissions measurement.

This partnership follows OIL's recent commitment to the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), a global initiative launched at COP28. The OGDC aims for net-zero operations by 2050, near-zero upstream methane emissions, and zero routine flaring by 2030. Through the agreement, OIL joins a growing list of companies using AUSEA to support these ambitious goals.

Dr. Ranjit Rath, Chairman of OIL, highlighted the importance of the collaboration, stating it reflects India's commitment to global climate efforts. TotalEnergies' CEO, Patrick Pouyanné, emphasized the impact of sharing best practices within the OGDC, which aims to significantly reduce methane emissions worldwide.
