OGUK Pathway to a Net-Zero Basin: Production Emissions Targets Report 2020

5.) Improved Monitoring of Emissions

The formation of targets and assessment of performance requires the establishment of a clear emissions baseline.OGUK,withindustrysupport, commits to continued performance monitoring and additional monitoring against these targets. OGUK has initiated an annual data collection and analysis of verified CO 2 emissions data which will be used to assess collective industry progress. This data is also used for an annual benchmarking exercise and is already proving valuable in stimulating discussion on good practices and sharing of successful emission reduction ideas. Verified CO 2 emissions data from heat and power sources is collated on an annual basis for most offshore platforms, terminals, and the aviation sector. Industry has begun improving the identification and reporting approaches to quantifying other CO 2 sources offshore.

Further action is required to improve the collection, quantification, measurement andmonitoringof other GHGs such as methane emissions, as captured in the Methane Action Plan. OGUK is working with members, partners across the supply chain and regulators on reporting requirements and the need for improved centralised reporting mechanisms.
