Energy Transfer’s Dual Drive natural gas compression system
features patented technology that involves both a natural gas
engine and an electric motor allowing each individual Dual Drive
compression unit to switch between drivers at any time to actively
manage both greenhouse gas emissions and the use of the electrical
grid. The first Dual Drive was installed in East Texas in 2000, and
since then has grown into a fleet of approximately 450,000
horsepower in multiple services from field gathering, transmission
and cryogenic plant installations.
“We are so pleased to be recognized by our industry peers for
the benefits of this technology, which can be significant in
reducing Scope 1 CO2 emissions,” said David Coker, Vice President,
Power Solutions for Energy Transfer. “Across our system of Dual
Drives, we were able to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 630,000
tons in 2020 alone.”
Dual Drive was selected by GPA’s Midstream Environmental
Committee for this innovative technology used by Energy Transfer at
gas processing plants in Texas’ Permian Basin. GPSA's award
category focuses on innovative environmental solutions with
measurable results and repeatable processes.
The 2021 Environmental
Excellence Award adds to Dual Drive’s list of accolades. Dual Drive
Technologies received the 2012 Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) award for Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for
emission reductions in the gas compression industry. And, in 2009,
Dual Drive received the Innovative Technologies Award from the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This award also
focused on emission reductions in the industry.
