Emissions report | OGA
The Report includes the following key findings:
• Overall upstream oil and gas GHG emissions fell by 11% between 2018 and 2020
• Two-thirds of offshore installations decreased their emissions between 2019 and 2020, by 36% on average
• Offshore flare volumes fell by 23% between 2019 and 2020 – offshore flaring in summer 2021 was at its lowest ever recorded level • Flare volumes from onshore terminals fell by 33% between 2019 and 2020
• Methane emissions fell by 20% between 2019 and 2020, with industry having a methane intensity of 0.23%
• Since 2015, carbon intensity has fallen by 9% offshore and 11% in total (includes onshore terminals)
• Over 70% of industry emissions come from burning gas or diesel for fuel, but platform electrification offers abatement potential
• While UK produced gas has less than half the carbon footprint of imported LNG, across the board, the UK generally performs around the 50th percentile internationally for upstream carbon intensity and flaring intensity, showing there is room to improve much further and faster

The Scottish Government’s Climate Change Act 2019 commits Scotland to ‘net-zero’ emissions of all greenhouse gases (GHGs) by 2045, which means that any residual GHG will need to be balanced by activities that take CO2 out of the atmosphere. This..

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
