English
This paper reports the first steps toward establishing a third-party testing center for fugitive methane emission measurement technologies in Australia, crucial for verifying LNG methane intensity. Initial results from lab and pilot-scale comparisons of quantitative optical gas imaging cameras and high-flow samplers against controlled releases up to 10 kg/h are presented, demonstrating the need for credible data to support decarbonization claims.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本にとって、LNG輸入国としてメタン強度の信頼性あるデータは重要。特に、日本のGX政策（例：クリーンエネルギー戦略）ではLNGの低炭素化が求められており、本論文のような計測技術の第三者評価は、日本企業の調達判断や開示の裏付けとなる可能性がある。
In the global GX context
For global GX, this paper addresses the growing demand for credible methane emissions data in LNG supply chains, aligning with initiatives like CLEAN and EU Methane Regulations. The establishment of an independent testing facility in Australia is a model for other producing countries to ensure accurate reporting and mitigation, supporting transition finance and climate disclosure frameworks.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The methane intensity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is of increasing interest to importers in Asia and Europe, as sourcing lower-carbon energy supports their decarbonisation strategies. This is evidenced by initiatives such as Coalition for LNG Emission Abatement toward Net-zero (CLEAN) and the European Methane Regulations and necessitates a particular focus for Australia’s future energy exports on acquiring credible data to demonstrate the lower-methane intensity of LNG supply chains. Methane emissions can result from many sources such as leaks, venting and incomplete combustion. The ability to accurately report these fugitive emissions enables credible disclosures and effective mitigation prioritisation. To identify and report fugitive sources, screening and quantification are required, which relies on the generation of high-quality, trusted data. For operators and regulators, the question arises: which measurement technologies are worth the investment? Third-party evaluation to independently test, assess and qualify technologies is a key enabler. The Future Energy Exports Cooperative Research Centre (FEnEx CRC) is currently leading an initiative to establish an ongoing testing capability in Australia with a view of ultimately providing a fit-for-purpose facility that incorporates training and knowledge transfer between government, industry and academia; this will build on previous efforts domestically and internationally. This paper highlights some of our initial findings when assessing the efficacy and usage of a set of leak detection and repair (LDAR) candidate technologies including both quantitative optical gas imaging (QOGI) cameras and high-flow samplers. The quantification capabilities of these systems were compared against ‘white’ controlled releases, up to 10 kg/h, at both the lab and pilot scales using facilities located at the University of Western Australia’s (UWA) Crawley and Shenton Park campuses.
