Common German response to the EU questionnaire on LDAR

The DVGW and the German associations BDEW¹, figawa² and FNB Gas³, compiled a response to the “Questionnaire on LDAR minimum detection limits and first step underground leak thresholds in the EU Methane Regulation” from the EU Commission. The Questionnaire was sent to associations and companies in advance of the consultations and for the preparation of the Implementing Act – LDAR.

This Implementing Act – LDAR will supplement the Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 June 2024 on the reduction of methane emissions in the energy sector and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/942. It is intended to provide guidelines for the implementation of leak detection and repair.
