The unaccounted-for gas (UFG) in gas network utilities, particularly methane emissions, is a pressing environmental and financial concern. With methane being a potent greenhouse gas, efforts to reduce emissions have gained momentum, including the Global Methane Pledge signed by 105 countries. The CEDIGAZ report reveals that UFG contributes approximately 70 billion cubic meters of methane release annually, equivalent to 1.75% of global natural gas demand. This represents a significant impact on global warming and financial losses for utilities. The report explores the sources of UFG and presents solutions, emphasizing the need for accurate measurement, active monitoring, and effective regulations. It underscores the potential for methane emissions reduction in areas like gas flaring and venting and highlights cost-effective strategies to address these issues.
