生态环境部、国家能源局联合发布3项海陆油气田CCER方法学

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, in collaboration with the National Energy Administration, has introduced three methodologies for voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction projects targeting oil and gas fields, marking the first expansion of the national voluntary emission reduction trading market to the oil and gas extraction sector [1][2]. Group 1: Emission Reduction Methodologies - The newly released methodologies aim to address the challenges of methane recovery and utilization in oil and gas extraction, which is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions [1]. - Methane, being the second-largest greenhouse gas, has a greenhouse effect over twenty times that of carbon dioxide, making its management crucial in the fight against climate change [1]. - The methodologies encourage companies to improve their handling of methane, transforming it from a waste product into a usable clean energy source, thereby enhancing both environmental and economic benefits [1]. Group 2: Future Initiatives - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to implement the guidelines from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council to accelerate the development of a voluntary emission reduction methodology system, aiming for comprehensive coverage in key sectors [2]. - There is a focus on promoting the development of emission reduction projects and guiding social capital towards areas with significant reduction potential and comprehensive benefits, aligning with the ecological value transformation of the "Two Mountains" concept [2].
