Africa-Press – Angola. Sonangol and TotalEnergies signed, this week, in Luanda, a Cooperation Agreement to launch a campaign that aims to identify, quantify and reduce methane and carbon dioxide emissions in their activities.
According to the content published on the Sonangol website, this operation will be carried out using a drone, supporting the decarbonization of the Angolan oil industry and contributing to cleaner energy in Angola.
According to the Angolan oil company, the pilot campaign will begin next November, in Block 3/05, which will involve the use of the “AUSEA” (Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer for Environmental Applications) technology, developed by TotalEnergies and the National Center French Research Scientist (CNRS).
This technology, according to the website, allows for high-precision detection and qualification of methane and carbon dioxide emissions from oil installations.
In other words, the technology provided by TotalEnergies will ensure that methane and carbon dioxide emissions are controlled with greater precision, taking into account Angola’s objective of reducing emissions.
With this, the signing of the aforementioned cooperation agreement shows the commitment of both companies to ensuring a healthy environment for future generations.
