Solving the Methane Problem For the Oil and Gas Sector

Tecmerra converts climate-negative methane emissions into valuable industrial chemicals. Redefine regulatory compliance in the Oil and Gas sectors

OIL AND GAS SECTOR

Oil Icon

The Oil and Gas Sector is one of the largest industrial emitters of methane globally.

Emissions Icon
Upstream activities contribute close to 90% of the oil and gas methane emissions (an estimated 1.5-2.2 million tonnes).
Fire Icon
Common industry practice includes either
venting or flaring the waste methane gas.

METHANE TO METHANOL (MtM)

Traditional MtM facilities are large, expensive facilities that converts methane to methanol at high temperatures and pressures. These conversion facilities are not cost-effective, which is why most Methane is either vented or flared.

TECMERRA’S SOLUTION

Tecmerra Methane Solutions Ltd. believes the greatest value for treating excess methane comes from converting it into a market ready liquid: methanol. Tecmerra will effectively reduce methane gas and is developing several proprietary MtM catalysts. When commercialized, this technology will effectively allow for direct, one step oxidation of methane when flowed over Tecmerra’s reactor bed, producing liquid methanol and ammonia as an end-product of the process instead of releasing methane into the atmosphere.

TECMERRA’S ADVANTAGE

Tecmerra’s solution solves an environmental threat and regulatory burden without the downsides of traditional MtM processing.

1

Tecmerra’s methane gas elimination solution operates at room temperature and low pressure with up to 99% efficiency.

2

Seamlessly integrated into pre-existing infrastructure, there is no need for large processing facilities or significant infrastructure upgrades.

3

Ability to deploy MtM technology in remote locations, including oil and gas exploration sites.

4

Integrated technology allows for carbon offset, measurement, verification and reporting.
