Guidance
Petroleum Industry Guidelines for Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions
These guidelines are a reliable, cost effective, industry endorsed method for reporting GHG emissions that can be used by oil and gas companies anywhere in the world. They are
available from the climate change publications page in English, Spanish, Russian and Chinese.
SANGEA Emissions Estimating System
SANGEA, an automated, electronic data management information system, is owned by API and was designed to assist petroleum companies with estimating, managing and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It can also be used to track energy consumption and criteria pollutant emissions.
CDM Navigator
Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) issued by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board for verified emission reductions from approved and registered CDM projects could be used by companies to fulfil their emission reduction or limitation obligations according to national legislation or could be sold on a market. CERs are eligible commodities in the EU emission trading system from 2005.
The rules for the CDM approval process are anchored in the Marrakech Accords approved by Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention of Climate Change. The approval of projects is based on the principles of case law principles. The process is highly complex however and is evolving quickly. This presents a significant hurdle to the development of CDM projects. The purpose of this website is to provide guidance for companies, in particular within the petroleum sector, considering submitting emission reduction projects for approval as CDM projects. The website provides access to up-to-date guidance on the approval processes of the CDM as well as information of specific relevance to the development of oil and gas sector emission reduction projects.
