Greenhouse Gas Emission Monitoring Test

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Monitoring Test is a critical service that supports industries in the Oil & Gas sector by ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations. This test focuses on quantifying and monitoring emissions of key greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and other trace gases, which are responsible for global warming.

Oil & Gas companies face increasing pressure from governments and stakeholders to reduce their environmental footprint. Accurate monitoring of GHG emissions is essential not only for compliance but also for improving operational efficiency and enhancing sustainability practices. This test is pivotal in identifying emission sources, quantifying the impact, and implementing corrective measures.

Our service uses advanced analytical techniques including infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry to measure emissions accurately. Specimen preparation involves collecting samples from various points within production facilities or during transportation processes. These samples are then analyzed using state-of-the-art instrumentation to ensure precise measurement of GHG levels.

Compliance with international standards such as ISO 14064, ISO/IEC 17025, and ASTM D7398 ensures reliability and accuracy in our testing procedures. The results provide actionable insights that help companies adopt best practices for emission reduction strategies. By offering this service, we contribute significantly to the industry’s transition towards more sustainable operations.
