Methane Emissions

Governments all over the world have decided to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This was recently shown by the Paris Climate Conference (COP21). 195 countries adopted the first ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement. The climate conference 2016 in Marrakesh (COP22) demonstrated that the implementation of the Paris agreement has started successfully, the constructive and multilateral cooperation will be continued.

To achieve the goal of keeping the increase in global average temperatures to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, the issue of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions) will be of fundamental importance. The best-known human-caused GHG emissions are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and chlorofluorocarbons (FCKW). Slowing down global warming requires rapid emission reductions. The development of GHG emissions is tracked transparently, according to the COP21 goals.

The national GHG inventories keep track of emissions and are set up to follow the mandatory reporting for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These inventories also include records on diffuse emissions from the natural gas sector. The creation of these inventories is challenging because of the constrained accessibility of data (see the figure) and inconsistent data processing in Europe.

Project Description

This project was motivated by a study carried out by the consulting firm EXERGIA on behalf of the European Commission entitled “Study on Actual GHG Data for Diesel, Petrol, Kerosene, and Natural Gas” – hereafter referred to as the EXERGIA study. The EXERGIA study concluded that emissions for the production, processing, transport, storage and distribution of natural gas had been underestimated.

The goal of the study was to determine the carbon footprint (CF) of natural gas distributed in Germany and in Central EU. The carbon footprint determines CO2 emissions, which emerge during the life cycle of a product. For the comparability, all occurring emissions are converted into CO2 equivalents.

Emissions resulting from the production, processing, transport, storage, and distribution of natural gas were considered. The utilization of the best data available and the transparency of the calculations was of paramount importance to the project.

In order to make the results comparable with the EXERGIA study, the model GHGenius in the version 4.03 was used to determine the carbon footprint - the same version of the model as was used by the EXERGIA study.
