TotalEnergies and Oil India Partner to Detect Methane Emissions

25 Nov 2024 CW Team

TotalEnergies and Oil India Ltd (OIL) have signed a partnership to detect and measure methane emissions at OIL’s operational sites in India. Using TotalEnergies' pioneering AUSEA technology, the two companies will conduct methane emissions detection campaigns. The AUSEA system, mounted on drones, uses dual sensors to identify methane and carbon dioxide emissions, offering one of the most accurate technologies for measuring and locating emissions, especially from hard-to-reach areas.

OIL's commitment to decarbonisation is evident in its recent decision to join the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), a global initiative aiming for net-zero operations by 2050 and near-zero upstream methane emissions by 2030. Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, praised the collaboration with OIL, calling it a significant step towards achieving these ambitious environmental goals.

Ranjit Rath, Chairman and Managing Director of OIL, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, noting that it aligns with India's broader climate commitments and OIL's dedication to reducing emissions.
