Saskatchewan Advances Methane Reductions Summary by: Dale Lunan Posted in: Saskatchewan Advances Methane Reductions The Canadian province of Saskatchewan said January 26 it would provide financial support for three projects that will reduce methane emissions, increase natural gas processing and create jobs. Funding will come from two provincial initiatives, the Saskatchewan Petroleum Innovation Incentive (SPII) and the Oil and Gas Processing Investment Incentive (OGPII), which provide a certain level of transferable royalty credits once private funding has been dedicated and facilities built. “These projects, including one that’s first of its kind in the province, are already creating jobs,” the province’s energy and resources minister, Bronwyn Eyre, said. “They support Saskatchewan’s economic recovery and the environment at the same time, by capturing and commercialising methane, rather than venting or flaring it.”
