What should that framework look like?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Measurement based, accurate data<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Methane is invisible and odorless, and it can leak anywhere along the world\u2019s vast oil and gas infrastructure. Until recently, few companies have been required to even look for leaks, much less measure and report them. This means they lack experience in developing processes and procedures allowing for a comprehensive accounting of real-world emissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reporting that does exist has relied not on systematic measurement, but rather generic emissions factors and engineering calculations that substantially underestimate emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s what drove <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/methane-timeline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">groundbreaking research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and other energy-producing regions that discovered real-world methane emissions far exceed the levels energy companies and national inventories report. These studies showed we must rely on measurements, not generic estimates, to develop trustworthy and reliable emission numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Focus on methane<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some inventories roll up all greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, into one number. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s useful for some purposes because we need to drastically reduce both. But methane has far greater warming potential in the short term, and therefore methane reductions can have more impact more quickly. To unlock the climate opportunity methane mitigation presents, we need a complete and accurate accounting of total methane emissions, alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Data and methods must be transparent<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more companies are exploring methane measurement technology and programs. That\u2019s a very positive development, but now it\u2019s important to establish strong methodologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From measurement methodology to data processing to public disclosure of emission data, MRV programs must be transparent if they are to build trust with governments, investors, shareholders and the public. Moreover, transparency helps create compatibility and comparability with other companies\u2019 and country\u2019s emission data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Methane data must be complete and verified <\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also critical that emissions from<em> all<\/em> sites within a given oil and gas asset are characterized in an unbiased way, to avoid cherry-picking the best-performing facilities. Measurements must be frequent enough \u2014 not single snapshots \u2014 to capture both persistent and intermittent emission sources and consider the right monitoring technologies that are able to capture emissions from both small and large sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, companies using new measurement technologies and techniques should demonstrate their reliability and accuracy in the real world, and emission rates and totals should be compared to independent data. UNEP\u2019s International Methane Emissions Observatory, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/explore-topics\/energy\/what-we-do\/imeo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMEO, <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will play a key role in this step by developing an integrated and publicly available data platform for methane emissions data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Keeping our eyes on the prize <\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it\u2019s important to stay laser-focused on the goal of all these efforts and standards. The world must mobilize to take action on methane, and measurement data everyone can trust, understand and compare is a critical ingredient. We won\u2019t solve this problem without it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s one reason we developed MethaneSAT, the world\u2019s most advanced methane-tracking satellite.\u00a0 When it launches in 2024, MethaneSAT will allow us to measure methane emissions from 80% of the world\u2019s oil and gas production with unparalleled precision. Together with other satellites, MethaneSAT will enable us, for the first time, to calculate total methane emissions from the vast majority of the oil and gas-producing regions and track them over time. And it will help countries and companies fill critical data gaps in their current and future emission reduction efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amidst all the positive momentum behind reducing global oil and gas methane emissions lies a critical challenge: If we\u2019re going to reduce global methane emissions, we need accurate and trustworthy numbers to define the scope of the problem, assess company and country performance and track emissions over time and against reduction goals.
