Turkmenistan delegation studies UK methane emissions reduction experience

Representatives of Turkmenistan's oil and gas sector and relevant ministries visited the United Kingdom to study methods for measuring and monitoring methane emissions, as well as technologies for reducing them. The study trip was jointly organised by the UK Embassy in Turkmenistan and the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ). The UK Embassy in Turkmenistan announced this on Wednesday.

The delegation included representatives of the state concerns Turkmengaz and Turkmennebit, as well as the ministries of energy, environmental protection and foreign affairs. In London, Aberdeen, Peterhead and Teesside, the delegation met UK government experts, scientists and industry specialists and saw practical solutions on site.

The delegation studied UK experience in methane policy, measurement science, satellite monitoring, unorganised emissions and flaring management. The programme included the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and other government bodies, the Royal Holloway greenhouse gas research group, Offshore Energies UK, Score Group, the St Fergus and CATS gas terminals, and the companies GHGSat and BP.
