Technology Transfer Workshops

The Natural Gas STAR Program hosts regional technology transfer workshops for every sector of the natural gas industry each year. These workshops provide a forum for natural gas companies to receive and share detailed information about current cost-effective technologies and practices to reduce methane emissions in their specific sector.

Each workshop's structure and content are customized to fit the needs and interests of the specific natural gas sector in a particular region. Workshops are free-of-charge and all are welcome.
