Suggestions for Optimizing Methane Accounting Methods in China's Oil and Gas Industry
Reduction of methane emissions in the oil and gas industry is an important means for China to address climate change.Accurate accounting of methane emissions is the foundation for the oil and gas industry to carry out methane emissions control.At present,the main problems with methane accounting methods in China's oil and gas industry are the lack of comprehensive,detailed and accurate basic data,the lack of localized emission factors,and the lack of characteristic emission factors for unconventional oil and gas fields.Based on advanced international experience of the United States,Canada and the European Union and China's national conditions,this paper proposes optimization suggestions for methane accounting methods in China's oil and gas industry,focusing on strengthening basic monitoring and tamping accounting data,determining characteristic emission factors and unifying methane accounting methods,strengthening corporate responsibility and continuously strengthening supervision.
