In 2021, NextDecade and Project Canary started a joint pilot project for monitoring, reporting, and independent third-party emissions measurement and facility certification of greenhouse gas intensity of LNG to be sold from NextDecade’s planned Rio Grande LNG export facility. The joint pilot project will measure emissions across the value chain through Canary X and Aeris continuous emissions monitoring devices, and use certification processes to confirm emissions levels of each element of the natural gas value chain – from the wellhead to the ship at Rio Grande LNG.
