Core Insights - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has released three new methodologies for voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction (CCER mechanism), expanding the total to nine methodologies since the mechanism's launch [1][2][3] - The new methodologies focus on the recovery and utilization of associated gas from onshore and offshore oil fields, promoting technological upgrades in the oil and gas industry for greenhouse gas reduction and resource recovery [1][2] Group 1: Onshore Gas Recovery - The "Onshore Gas Field Testing Gas Recovery Methodology" is noted for its unique "Chinese innovation" characteristics, as there is currently no market-based emission reduction incentive mechanism for such projects globally [1] - This methodology encourages the recovery of gas during testing phases for use in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), aiming to enhance recovery technology in the oil and gas sector [1] Group 2: Low-Volume Associated Gas - The "Onshore Oil Field Low-Volume Associated Gas Recovery Methodology" allows projects with associated gas production of less than 30,000 cubic meters per day to apply for CCER [2] - This methodology provides an incentive mechanism for small-scale, decentralized projects that currently lack economic feasibility, such as those in remote areas [2] - An example project in Heilongjiang with a gas source of 15,000 cubic meters per day could see its return on investment increase from 5% to approximately 8.5% with CCER benefits [2] Group 3: Offshore Gas Recovery - The "Offshore Oil Field Associated Gas Recovery Methodology" has identified four projects that collectively recover about 150 million cubic meters of gas per year, producing 32,000 tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) annually [3] - A new project is expected to recover 100 million cubic meters of natural gas annually, resulting in a reduction of approximately 160,000 tons of emissions [3] - Estimated CCER revenue at 80 yuan per ton could generate an additional income of 12.8 million yuan for the project [3]
