Ellen McCole graduated from StFX University in 2020 with a BSc in Mathematics and a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Ellen is pursuing a MASc through ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´â€™s Sustainable Energy Engineering program, where she enjoys courses from both ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´â€™s school of engineering as well as public policy & administration. For her master’s thesis, Ellen is completing a techno-economic analysis of commercially available methane mitigation technologies for use in Saskatchewan’s oil and gas sector. This work is based on EERL’s recently published source-attributed methane emissions inventory and aims to provide insight to how much it costs producers to reduce their methane emissions, and how current methane reduction regulations can be updated to reduce methane emissions from sites in the province in a cost-effective manner.
