Frequent LDAR inspections are critically important given that the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.sciencemag.org\/content\/361\/6398\/186\">latest science<\/a> shows they are one of the best ways to dramatically reduce methane emissions while being extremely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/sites\/default\/files\/content\/edf_ldar_analysis_120415_v7.pdf\">cost effective<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ensuring haste doesn\u2019t make waste<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Annual LDAR is just one example of the shortcomings in the Exxon framework. Flaring is another, which is an especially glaring problem in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeast New Mexico, now the world\u2019s largest oil field.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-pioneer-natl-rsc-flaring\/pioneer-natural-ceo-calls-out-shale-industry-for-permian-basin-gas-flaring-idUSKBN1XF2F4\">some producers<\/a> there have made moves to limit flaring by sensibly timing drilling to ensure natural gas infrastructure is in place, Exxon has not, and their framework doesn\u2019t include the necessary tools to tackle this growing problem.<\/p>\n<p>Regulators should take a holistic approach to reducing methane emissions as well as natural gas waste through flaring by including strong anti-flaring measures as part and parcel of their methane regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Raising ambition to achieve what\u2019s possible and necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, Exxon estimates that implementing its suggestions have allowed the company to reduce its methane emissions by 20%. That\u2019s good, but it falls far short of the greenhouse gas reductions that scientists say we need to maintain a stable climate or that leading states have committed to as a part of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>To give one example, New Mexico under Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has quickly begun a race to the top on tackling climate change and methane emissions. The state set an aggressive goal of a 45% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, charting a course toward creating comprehensive, statewide methane rules this year. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/media\/edf-statement-report-finds-comprehensive-methane-rules-are-cost-effective-new-mexico\">recent analysis<\/a> has shown that by implementing a suite of nationally leading requirements, New Mexico can reduce its methane emissions by 60%. In this context, Exxon\u2019s 20% cut just doesn\u2019t cut it.<\/p>\n<p>A growing group of companies have committed, in theory, to achieving a methane intensity of 0.20%, but more importantly none is demonstrating compliance with that target through high quality empirical data and robust disclosure. <a href=\"https:\/\/business.edf.org\/insights\/hitting-the-mark-improving-the-credibility-of-industry-methane-data\/\">This is critical<\/a> for companies like Exxon trying to inspire confidence in their methane management and defend their position in a rapidly decarbonizing world.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, in an era of federal methane rollbacks, Exxon deserves credit for advocating for enforceable rules to reduce methane emissions. Exxon and other leading producers should be recognized for doing work to advance innovative solutions for methane monitoring and mitigation, particularly when they demonstrate innovations at scale. Regulations should take advantage of these current and future innovations.<\/p>\n<p>However, state leaders and policymakers will need to dig deeper than Exxon\u2019s current framework in order to craft the sorts of rules necessary to garner the best, most cost-effective methane emissions reductions possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s big news when one of the world\u2019s largest oil and gas companies announces it supports hard and fast regulations to reduce its industry\u2019s methane emissions.
