The report details the methodology of the Klimatkalkylatorn version 2.0, which calculates individual carbon footprints based on four consumption areas: housing, food, transport, and shopping. It utilizes 2019 data from Statistics Sweden (SCB) and other sources to assign emission factors to spending and usage patterns. The tool incorporates Global Warming Potential (GWP) over 100 years for CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide, and compares individual results against Swedish and global averages, as well as a 2030 target of 4 tonnes of CO2e per person.

The Sacramento Water Allocation Model (SacWAM), built using the Stockholm Environment Institute's Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) system, is being used by the California State Water Resources Control Board to update the Bay-Delta Plan. The model simulates the complex Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta water system to assess how proposed policy changes—such as new flow requirements for the Sacramento River and its tributaries—impact agriculture, water supply, and fisheries. SacWAM allows officials to compare current operations against an 'unimpaired state' to determine flow requirements that support both 25 million people and 3 million acres of farmland while restoring the Delta's ecosystem.

The document outlines a method to capture methane and other pollutants from condensed liquids at the first compressor station of transmission pipelines. By using gas combustion devices to burn off gases released when liquids are moved to atmospheric pressure storage tanks, operators can reduce emissions. One partner, Columbia Gulf Transmission, reported saving 334,000 standard cubic feet of methane annually from two condensate storage tanks.

The document outlines the practice of capturing 'casing head gas'—methane and other gases that accumulate in the annular space between the casing and tubing—by routing it into a vapor recovery unit (VRU) instead of venting it to the atmosphere. This approach is applicable to wells producing via tubing without packing units and leverages the similar pressure and composition of casing head gas and tank emissions. One reported case by Marathon Petroleum showed an average annual recovery of 7,300 thousand cubic feet of methane over five years, which is equivalent to approximately 10,000 thousand cubic feet of gas containing 73% methane. Economically, the recovery of this gas can offset the costs of piping and increased electricity required for the VRU to inject gas into a 100 psi system, with one partner reporting an electricity cost increase of 3,400 USD per year at a rate of 7.5 cents per kWh.

The document outlines a practice where a pig is placed in an isolated pipeline section and pushed by an inert gas to displace natural gas. This process prevents the common practice of depressurizing pipelines by venting gas to the atmosphere during operation or maintenance. One partner reported avoiding 538,000 cubic feet of methane over six such purging operations. The primary driver for this practice is safety rather than methane savings, and it requires pig launching/receiving equipment and a mobile nitrogen supply.

The document outlines a practice for the annual inspection and repair of blowdown valves at compressor stations, which are prone to leaks due to pressure and thermal stress. It provides estimated gas savings, economic evaluations, and methane content assumptions across different natural gas industry sectors.

The document details the geological composition and tectonic setting of the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland, highlighting its location at a divergent plate boundary. It provides statistics on superhot rock (SHR) drilling, specifically the IDDP-2 well, and describes the operations of the existing Reykjanes geothermal power station.

The document outlines a Partner Reported Opportunity (PRO) for reducing methane emissions by installing downhole separator pumps. These devices separate gas from water within the well, allowing water to be reinjected into lower reservoirs and reducing the volume of methane-laden water sent to surface storage tanks, where emissions typically occur. The technology is most suitable for gas wells with low solids and liquid hydrocarbon production. Reported annual methane savings range from 150 to 750 thousand cubic feet, with a specific example showing 400 thousand cubic feet saved per year for a tank with a daily gas production of 100 thousand cubic feet. While methane reduction is a secondary benefit, the primary economic advantage is the reduction of operational costs for treating or reinjecting produced water. Investment costs vary from under $1,000 to over $10,000, with payback periods ranging from 0 to 10 years.

The document outlines the installation of ejectors—Venturi nozzles that use high-pressure gas to draw in low-pressure sources—to prevent methane venting during equipment maintenance in production, processing, and transmission/distribution sectors. It highlights a partner report where one installation saved 8 million cubic feet of methane over 55 months and provides an economic analysis showing potential annual savings of 700 thousand cubic feet of methane with a payback period of less than 3 years.

The document outlines a methane reduction opportunity (PRO No. 204) involving the replacement of glycol dehydrators with cyclone separators and in-line heaters. In this process, natural gas expands in a cyclone separator to cool and condense water vapor, which is then reheated to a specific dew point. This eliminates the need for glycol, thereby avoiding the methane emissions associated with glycol dehydrator operations. The technology is suitable for transport and distribution systems in cold environments, provided there is sufficient upstream pressure and a power source for resistive heaters. One partner reported saving 1,930 thousand cubic feet of methane by replacing 14 dehydrators. Economic analysis suggests a strong return on investment, with annual methane reductions of 130 thousand cubic feet for a system processing 10 million cubic feet of gas per day (reducing water vapor from 7 to 4 lbs/MMcf).

The document provides a technical overview of shale gas and oil extraction, focusing on hydraulic fracturing (fracking). It details drilling methods such as vertical, horizontal, and rotary drilling, and explains the composition of fracking fluids, including the use of water, surfactants, and biocides. Additionally, it describes wellbore casing for aquifer protection and the processes of venting and flaring of natural gas.

The RMI Headquarters is a 4,000-square-foot experimental bioshelter in Colorado designed for extreme resource efficiency. It utilizes passive solar design, superinsulation, and advanced glazing to eliminate the need for a conventional heating system, achieving a 99% reduction in space- and water-heating energy. The structure integrates a residential home, a year-round greenhouse for food production, and an office space. Key technologies include krypton-filled Heat Mirror windows, a 1,500-gallon superinsulated water storage tank, and a combination of grid-interactive and stand-alone photovoltaic systems. The document details the building's construction, including its 16-inch thick masonry walls with polyurethane foam cores, and provides economic data showing that the efficiency investments paid for themselves in approximately ten months based on 1983-84 technology.

The Land Disturbance Alert Classification System (LDACS) is a global data set that enhances NASA's 30-meter resolution DIST-ALERT system by integrating fire, water, cropland, and natural ecosystem data. It classifies vegetation disturbances into four categories: potential land conversion, fire-related, water-related, and cropland dynamics. This system specifically addresses monitoring gaps for non-forest ecosystems like grasslands, savannas, shrublands, and wetlands. Global 2023 data indicates that cropland dynamics represent one-third of classified disturbances, while potential land conversion accounts for 4%. Initial validation in Brazil's Cerrado biome demonstrated an 87% accuracy rate for classified alerts.
