Developing transparent models and datasets for accurate greenhouse gas emissions accounting across global oil and gas supply chain

Years of research on methane emissions from oil and gas operations have shown us that there is no substitute for direct measurements. Recent advances in technologies such as aerial systems, satellites, and continuous emissions monitoring systems have enabled unprecedented insight into global oil and gas methane emissions.

What is EEMDL trying to solve?

Yet, methods to interpret measurements to develop supply chain emissions intensities or measurement informed emissions inventories are elusive.

EEMDL will address this challenge and provide stakeholders standardized ways to interpret greenhouse gas emissions measurement data.


EEMDL’s mission is to provide reliable, science-based, transparent, and measurement-based greenhouse gas emissions assessments of global oil and gas supply chains. We do this through three key approaches: developing community models and tools for greenhouse gas emissions assessments, making publicly available timely, high-resolution emissions datasets, and creating educational and training materials to enable widespread use of EEMDL’s models and data.
