Join us for our Q2 Luncheon

DATE: Thursday, June 12, 2025

TIME: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

LOCATION: Fogo de Chao, 1513 Wynkoop St. Denver, CO 80202

SPEAKER: Dan Olsen, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at CSU

TOPIC: Methane Emissions from Natural gas Engines and how to Mitigate Them

DESCRIPTION: Natural gas (NG) engines are a critical component of the energy sector, offering a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels. However, methane emissions remain a challenge. Methane slip from internal combustion engines is relatively high owing to its low reactivity relative to other hydrocarbon fuels. Methane leakage from compressor packing vents, blow-downs, and other sources are also problematic. The focus of this talk is on engine compressor sets and integral compressors, with an emphasis on lean burn engines. The sources of methane emissions are reviewed, followed by a discussion of mitigation approaches.
