Glossary:The Collaboratory to Advance Methane Science (CAMS)
CAMS is a research collaboration on methane science directed by some of the world’s top leaders in energy development and administered by GTI Energy, a leading
research, development, and training organization. CAMS research characterizes methane emissions and identifies specific sources, so mitigation strategies are most effective. Results from CAMS research has the potential to lead to technology solutions, better work practices, and new equipment designs to manage methane
emissions. Demonstrable advancements in the environmental performance of natural gas bolster the fuel’s reputation as a sustainable, safe energy source, and the collaboration reinforces industry’s long-term commitment to environmental performance.[1]
CAMS research contributes to:
- Improved estimates for methane emissions – statistically valid data and tools
- Improved measurement, quantification, prioritization, and mitigation
- Reconciliation of data
- Cross-sector research and planning that is complementary rather than redundant
