Daphne advances methane abatement

Switzerland-based decarbonisation specialist, Daphne Technology, has won approval for its carbon credit methodology from certification body, Gold Standard. Specifically, the technology has been developed to reduce emissions of methane, a more dangerous greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

The firm’s ‘Methodology for Reducing Methane Emissions from Combustion Engine Exhaust’ technology is based on the aftertreatment of exhaust gas using Daphne’s SlipPureTM system. The scale of the abatement is then measured accurately using its PureMetricsTM system which, the company says, provides a robust verification of emissions reduction.

The system uses a range of tools with methodologies approved under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change setup, specifically its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The use of a CDM tool ensures that the calculation of abated greenhouse gas emissions is based on a system that is accepted by the international community and well understood by the scientific community, the company said.

Using advanced quantification and verification systems, precise methane emissions can be calculated, enabling companies to generate carbon credits which can then be traded in global markets. The system should therefore incentivise the reduction of emissions. 

Dr Mario Michan, Founder and CEO of Daphne Technology, said: “We are thrilled to lead the way in methane emission reduction with this innovative methodology. Methane is a major contributor to global warming and our approach not only curbs these emissions but also supports industries in their transition to more sustainable practices.”

The global carbon pricing market reached close to USD 100 billion in revenue in 2023.

In a second move, Daphne Technology and Williams, a leading energy infrastructure company, have announced their collaboration on the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) grant.

As part of this collaboration, Daphne Technology and Williams will leverage their combined expertise to advance methane abatement technologies that align with MERP's goals. The programme, designed to reduce methane emissions in the exhaust of natural gas engines, aims to drive innovation and deploy applications to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
