Methane emissions from oil and gas supply chains are not only causing energy loss but also exacerbate global climate change. Direct measurements, from satellite observations to continuous ground-level monitoring, offer valuable insights into methane emissions along oil and gas supply chains. However, translating these data into greenhouse gas inventories by following a standard methodology that informs policy, compliance, and monitoring frameworks remains challenging. The unique characteristics of supply chains and discrepancies between measurement techniques highlight the need for supply chain-specific GHG inventories to support national strategies on developing differentiated trading markets.This session focuses on bridging the gap between the methane measurements and inventory methodologies. Topics of interest include: Advancements in reconciliation techniques across multi-scale measurements. Methods for integrating diverse data sources into life cycle assessments.Approaches to data quality and uncertainty quantification to improve GHG inventory confidence.Regional case studies quantifying supply chain-specific emissions in future geo-energy systems.
