• Development of technologies that can be sold locally and internationally (jobs).
• Deployment of technologies to reduce methane emissions and reduce red tape in monitoring emissions.
• Reduction in costs to producers and incremental methane sales (higher royalties for the Provinces).
• The reduction in costs for avoiding methane releases can be spent on other projects within the industry leading to industry jobs.

• Collaboration with others who are working to reduce methane emissions – forum for discussion of ideas.
• Ability to provide input to the primary focus of the program – The current focus is for solutions to the challenges of tank vents, pneumatics and surface casing vents. Additional challenges are investigated at member discretion.
• Individual companies save time, energy, and resources through CanERIC.
• Benefit through tests by others and test technologies of interest to individual companies.
• Funding for tests.

• Collaboration with others who are working to reduce methane emissions – forum for discussion of ideas.
• Understand the needs of the industry; work collaboratively with industry, and have access to industry personnel and sites for testing.
• Introduction to other researchers for ground-truthing ideas and speeding the discovery and testing of new ideas.
• Funding for students and equipment.
• Opportunity to supply testing services to CanERIC.

• Forum to access many producers at one place to have your technology understood, and receive feedback.
• If your technology is of interest to the members, they may propose a test of your equipment.
• The data of the results are maintained in confidence to the members, but the vendors are free to publish it if they wish.
• Iterate on your design based on the results and get to market faster.
• Access to funding, the producers and sites – both laboratory and field – for testing.
