Abstract
Emission Reductions Visual Presentation R02
The impacts of climate change and efforts to achieve net zero emissions underscore the importance of a varied range of technologies designed to decrease emissions and handle carbon effectively. As carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects become increasingly integral to decarbonisation efforts, complexities emerge in the management of operations, verification and monitoring, commercial, joint venture (JV) and regulatory requirements. External tools developed in Excel have been commonly used to carry out CCS related calculations, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, carbon credit units, and their allocation between JV participants, as well as generate reports. This approach can prove to have negative long-term impacts as it is difficult to maintain and can lack transparency and auditability, especially when poorly documented. In this paper, we explore how integrating a CCS application into the existing Data Management System (EnergySys), used for production allocation and GHG emissions reporting, can enhance operational efficiency and ensure adherence to both legislative and commercial standards in a transparent and auditable manner.
