Methane emissions in Gazprom's system
(2008) International Gas Union Research Conference 2008, IGRC 2008 4. p.3465-3477- Abstract
Wide circles of scientific, political and social, and business representatives recognize the necessity of significant steps towards the stabilization and reduction of greenhouse gases emissions as one of the most relevant issues for the world community. This is actually confirmed by daily media reports on climatic catastrophes and emergency situations occurring in different parts of the world. In this paper we provide an overview over the results of existing empirical investigations on the methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Russian natural gas technological chain in the regions of Gazprom facilities' activity. Based on this we sketch potential opportunities for investment projects for GHG mitigation in Russia, which... (More)
Wide circles of scientific, political and social, and business representatives recognize the necessity of significant steps towards the stabilization and reduction of greenhouse gases emissions as one of the most relevant issues for the world community. This is actually confirmed by daily media reports on climatic catastrophes and emergency situations occurring in different parts of the world. In this paper we provide an overview over the results of existing empirical investigations on the methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Russian natural gas technological chain in the regions of Gazprom facilities' activity. Based on this we sketch potential opportunities for investment projects for GHG mitigation in Russia, which will help to ensure the financial viability of mitigation measures and provide some estimates on future GHG emissions from the Russian naturals gas chain. The results of the investigations of natural gas leakage through untight valves, flanges and other equipments as well as operational releases from Gazprom's facilities showed that methane emissions probably do not exceed one percent of the volumes of natural gas production, which roughly corresponds to the emission level of the US natural gas industry.
