Description (excerpt):
The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) commissioned ICF International (ICF) to conduct a study regarding both lost and unaccounted for gas (“LAUF”) and methane emissions from the gas distribution system in Massachusetts. Among other things, the study concludes that LAUF is not an appropriate surrogate for methane emissions, and that methane emissions from the three service territories of the two gas distribution companies studied range from 0.6 to 1.1 percent of total gas received.
