Prove
Instrument the resource and establish a conservative, traceable operating baseline.
The Phoenix model
Build from the resource. Design for the next use.
The Phoenix model is SASCOSM’s staged method for converting stranded methane into infrastructure that can adapt as the resource, market and community evolve.
View deployment tiers01
Five-stage method
A disciplined sequence from molecule to utility.
Power
Condition methane and deploy right-sized generation with operational redundancy.
Produce
Add flexible compute that can match variable on-site power without a grid dependency.
Participate
Layer community, grid and environmental value where evidence supports it.
Propagate
Replicate verified modules across a cluster, portfolio or regional programme.
02
Design principles
The model protects optionality.
01Resource before equipment
02Modularity before scale
03Local utility before extraction
04Evidence before environmental claims
05Operations before optimisation
06Repeatability before expansion

Key language
A common vocabulary for land, capital and infrastructure.
- Stranded methane
- Methane that is vented, flared or otherwise uneconomic to transport through conventional infrastructure.
- Behind the meter
- Energy consumed at or near the point of generation without relying on a public grid sale.
- Modular deployment
- Standardised infrastructure blocks that can be installed, expanded, relocated or repowered in stages.
- Revenue stack
- Multiple complementary sources of project income rather than dependence on a single commodity or service.
- Digital twin
- A live operational model combining equipment, sensor, maintenance and performance data.
- SPV
- A special-purpose vehicle established to own, finance or contract a defined project.
