Environment Agency awarded a contract to Ricardo-AEA Ltd for a project to review current and emerging techniques for the abatement of methane in lean-burn engine exhausts.

The project focuses on methane slip from stationary, reciprocating lean-burn gas engines used for electricity generation or cogeneration (CHP), typically in the 500kWe to 2MWe range at landfill sites, wastewater treatment facilities, and anaerobic digestion plants.

The review addresses the challenge that lean-burn engines, while favoured for higher fuel efficiency and lower NOx emissions, inherently produce higher methane slip rates, and that historically limited exhaust treatment options due to low exhaust temperatures.

The contract value is AUD 50,000.93.
