Of all the reported methane emission in Alberta, 30% is attributed to venting from production/storage tanks. Venting is an important process as it helps to stabilize the tank pressures. This accounts to 3.1 Mt CO2e annually in Alberta alone.Â

Methane emission is anticipated to be much higher due to unreported standalone tanks. Scaled up to global emissions, production tanks are a major shareholder and provide an untapped opportunity.
