Project description

In collaboration with Trinomics and Ricardo, Carbon Limits contributed to the development of the Methane Transparency Database for the EU Methane Emissions in the Energy Sector Regulation (as it was known at the time). This initiative aimed to enhance transparency regarding methane emissions associated with fossil fuel imports into the European Union. Carbon Limits played a key role in refining the database by incorporating additional data sources and information elements, particularly for the oil and gas subsector, and by supporting the design and testing of the methane intensity profiles. The project ensured that the database was prepared to publish methane intensity profiles promptly once Member States and importers submitted the required data. Furthermore, the database was enhanced to include comprehensive information, extending beyond the strict requirements of the proposed regulation.
