A dokumentáció fő célja a környezet védelmének javítása. Bár a szénhidrogénipar működését e tekintetben hosszú évek óta széles körű szabályozás, szabványok és iránymutatások jellemzik, ez az iránymutatás arra törekszik, hogy azokat az európai viszonylatban egyesítse a gyakorlatok és a szándék te...
A szén-dioxid (CO2) után a metán (CH4) járul hozzá a legnagyobb mértékben az éghajlatváltozáshoz. Amennyiben az elkövetkezendő 30 évben világszerte 50%-kal sikerülne csökkenteni a metánkibocsátást, 2050-ig 0,18 °C-kal lehetne mérsékelni a globális hőmérsékletváltozást, ami a Párizsi Megállapodás...
Oil has been crucial in domestic politics and international relations in the MENA since World War II. Renewable energy transitions will change the role of oil in MENA societies and these societies will change in the process. The social contract of the region’s rentier states is ‘no taxation and ...
Methane emissions from coal mining activities remain an important issue in decreasing GHG emissions. - There is much uncertainty about methane emission quantification from the coal sector, particularly from abandoned mines. - A robust MRV standard for methane emissions from the energy sector sho...
The largest share of methane emissions footprint from EU gas consumption is estimated to come from upstream emissions in countries supplying gas to the EU. - A methane performance standard on natural gas can be defined for the upstream segments of the gas supply chain using an existing methane e...
The main objective of this project was to develop new borehole stimulation techniques and develop improved methane drainage technologies. The project commenced with laboratory experiments to characterise the baseline reservoir properties of coal and coal measures rock. These data were supplement...
This report aims to address climate change by focusing on methane (CH4), a greenhouse gas with high global warming potential. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas in terms of concentration and impact on the climate. This highlights the importance of focusing on processes that are ...
The study to support the fitness check of the AAQ Directives focusses on assessing the implementation (including successes and challenges) of the AAQ Directives. This retrospective exercise, focussing on the period 2008 to 2018 has the aim of identifying what worked well or less well in the impl...
The European Green Deal envisages an important role for gas in the energy transition. To follow this pathway, the gas value chain should be more oriented towards sustainability. Methane emission reduction should also be strongly pursued by gas network companies. A regulation to limit methane emi...
