This week, Sierra Instruments introduced a line of mass flowmeters for greenhouse gas reporting. All Sierra GHG meters now conform to the new EPA rule (40 CFR Part 98), which mandates that as of Jan. 2, 2010, companies in the United States that emit more than 25,000 tons/year of CO₂ equivalent must report GHG emissions. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 of the country’s largest businesses will be affected.

Sierra’s GHG Certified mass flow meters provide an economical way to totalize methane or natural gas burned, enabling the calculation of CO₂ equivalent emissions. Sierra has extensive experience in producing highly accurate and repeatable mass flow meters for methane (CH4) as well as N₂0, SF₆, HFC’s, PFC’s and CO₂ as called out in the EPA mandate.
