An update on recent laws, regulations, and standards to improve emissions tracking

Wednesday, March 30, 2022
11:45 AM
  • Operators that produce natural gas with verified and quantifiable reduced emissions can benefit from enhanced stakeholder engagement, reduced cost of capital, potential premiums to index, and share price uplifts.
  • Production that undergoes independent, third-party certification that an operator adheres to the highest industry standards all across all operational facets are key to credibility in the certified gas market.
  • Learn more about certification in general and how the EO100 Standard for Responsible Energy Development plays a part.

•    Plugging satellite measurements of CO2 into an Earth-systems model to detect small reductions in atmospheric concentration of the gas over the United States
•    Reviewing how large-scale natural climate patterns like El Niño and La Niña affect CO2 concentration
•    Measuring CO2 in the column of air between its position and the Earth’s surface
•    Detecting additional or reduced levels of the gas before it becomes uniformly mixed in the atmosphere
•    Monitoring of emissions through space-based observations is feasible - Several additional CO2-measuring satellites are scheduled to be launched in coming years

Corporations are under increasing pressure – from investors, advocacy groups, stakeholders, and employees – to enhance performance across various ESG dimensions, as there is heightened social, governmental, and consumer attention on the broader impact of corporations. Pursuing these ESG-related performance improvements should not be viewed as a burden, as a strong ESG proposition can safeguard a company’s long-term success. Significant research has confirmed that companies that pay attention to ESG concerns deliver improved value creation and a reduced downside risk. This is evidenced by the surge in ESG-oriented investing, as global sustainable investment is forecasted to reach $41 trillion by year end, up from $31 trillion at the start of 2018.


Unfortunately, the path to ESG performance improvements has mostly been a singular journey, as every organization has been trying to define and establish their own sustainability agenda. A common thread across all of these organizational initiatives is a concentrated focus on understanding how their extended supply chains are helping or hurting them on their journey. In pursuit of this, organizations have initiated supplier-related ESG data collection activities, but these efforts have been conducted in siloes and run in parallel to their industry peers – all of whom are chasing the same goals and objectives.


Other industries have realized that for the common good, it makes sense to work together across their ecosystem to share supplier-related ESG data and insights. By doing so, they have been able to significantly reduce the costs and time associated with generating a holistic view of how their suppliers are performing across various dimensions, to include Scope 3 emissions. The same opportunity is available for the Oil & Gas industry, as a joint effort to collecting and sharing ESG data and insights will reduce the cost burden associated with ESG performance improvements and enhanced transparency for all stakeholders.
