Methane Emissions Pillar 01- Decarbonizing Our Operations Methane abatement is critical to mitigating the adverse affects of climate change, given its higher contribution towards global warming, when compared with carbon dioxide. ADNOC is prioritizing the deployment of advanced technology to identify and eliminate methane emissions. We have made great strides towards eliminating the flaring of natural gas across our operations. Our zero routine flaring policy, established in the 2000s, was a major milestone on our path to eliminate flaring and reduce methane emissions. The World Bank Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report annually lists the UAE as having one of the lowest flare volumes and flaring intensities among oil and gas producing countries. Our 2022 methane emissions were 6% lower than in 2021, achieved by a reduction in flaring through the effective use of flare recovery compressor systems during turn- rounds in gas processing plants; operational enhancements of rotating equipment for better energy efficiency; performing leak detection and repair (LDAR) surveys and repair interventions; and enhancing the accuracy levels of methane emission factors based on actual measurements. Our zero methane emissions ambition will support the UAE’s commitment to the Global Methane Pledge, a collective effort by 150 countries to ensure global methane emissions in 2030 are 30% below 2020 levels. Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 Gold Standard Pathway CASE STUDY ADNOC is a signatory to the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0, a multi-stakeholder initiative launched by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, to improve industry standards for reporting and reducing methane emissions. We are piloting the latest leak detection technologies such as satellite imaging, aerial drones and robotic inspectors equipped with advanced imaging sensors and laser dispersion spectroscopy. The deployment of such technological solutions across our operations is an essential part of our roadmap to move towards reducing methane emissions through continuous measurement and rapid intervention. Our efforts were recognized in 2022 with the award of the OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Pathway for having submitted high quality data and a robust plan to measure methane emissions in line with the Partnership’s reporting framework. 04 Our Journey to Net Zero EDGE drone, UAE Climate Tech, UAE 33 32 Advancing Towards Net Zero
