Scott is a Research Engineer at the Energy and Emissions Research Laboratory (EERL). He works on developing continuous optical detection techniques to quantify methane emissions from casing gas vents and liquid storage tanks in the oil and gas industry. The techniques combine concentration and velocity measurements to determine emission flux into the atmosphere. Scott graduated from Carleton University with his M.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 2019. His research focused on optical measurements of species correlations downstream of turbulent flames which has implications for current emission rate estimates for oil and gas industry flaring operations.
