Project description

How methane intensity is defined and designed can shape how methane emissions from the oil and gas sector are understood, compared, and managed globally. 

Carbon Limits has co-published a new white paper with Clean Air Task Force (CATF) addressing this question. 

The paper takes a deep dive into the methodological choices behind methane intensity metrics, an area where small design decisions can have significant implications. Rather than advocating for a specific approach, it provides a clear, structured examination of:

• Different ways methane intensity can be calculated
• The strengths and limitations of existing methodologies
• Key considerations around scope, granularity, activity data, and measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV)
