methane emission reduction with rich-burn technology
The EPA’s Natural Gas STAR Program offers a platform for equipment and service providers to form cross-functional teams with other member companies to implement and voluntarily document methane reduction activities, creating a permanent record of accomplishments in reducing methane emissions.
By joining the Natural Gas STAR Program, INNIO is underlining our commitment to implement methane-reducing technologies and practices that support carbon reduction. Today, our rich-burn Waukesha technology enables a more than 90% methane emission reduction compared to other technologies. As the only natural gas engine manufacturer in the Natural Gas STAR Program, we look forward to sharing our current and future initiatives to reduce methane emissions.
Bud Hittie, president & CEO of Waukesha Gas Engines Inc. and leader of the Waukesha product brand
By joining the program, INNIO will have the opportunity to educate and collaborate with Natural Gas STAR Partners on the benefits of using rich-burn engine technology to reduce methane emissions in their day-to-day gas compression operations. Information and technology sharing are facilitated through workshops and other web-based communications to build a strong network with industry peers to stay current on industry trends, initiatives, and the latest technologies.
The program also helps members communicate product and technology achievements to shareholders, customers, the public, and employees through articles, industry journals, technical studies, and fact sheets. Representation from management, EH&S, engineering, supply chain, project planning, and Natural Gas STAR principles are engaged to reach even wider audiences.
