Key Learning Outcomes:
- Understand international and national standards (ISO 14064-1, ISO 14064-2, ISO 14064-3) related to accounting, monitoring, and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Grasp the thermodynamics of ideal gases to comprehend why methane becomes a greenhouse gas when natural gas is released into the atmosphere.
- Learn the chemical foundations for determining the composition of natural gas and its combustion processes.
- Familiarize with methods for testing the physicochemical properties of natural gas.
- Refresh knowledge in probability theory and statistics.
Practical Components:
Participants will engage with practical cases on greenhouse gas emission accounting according to:
- The international Greenhouse Gas Protocol standard.
- The MRV system.
- Reporting procedures for greenhouse gas emissions in oil and gas extraction enterprises, including comparisons of emission accounting results using different methods.
The course also introduces approaches from the International Panel on Climate Change based on guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories (IPCC), enabling companies to:
- Establish a unified approach for accounting baseline greenhouse gas levels to attract green climate financing and engage investors and donors interested in emission reduction initiatives, particularly methane.
- Implement a standardized corporate approach to calculating and reducing carbon footprints.
- Assess the impact of activities on climate change to develop plans for offsetting or neutralizing greenhouse gas emissions based on verified company data.
- Methodologically support instrumental greenhouse gas emission systems.
Target Audience:
The program is designed for line managers and specialists, including environmental technologists, production staff, supervisors, project managers, and strategic planners.
