Mitigating methane emissions to accelerate the energy transition

The Global Decarbonisation Accelerator encompasses a series of landmark initiatives and is designed to speed up the energy transition and significantly reduce global emissions. The Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter (OGDC), which is part of the Global Decarbonisation Accelerator, aims to align the industry to eliminate routine flaring by 2030, to deliver net-zero operations emissions by 2050 and to achieve near-zero upstream methane emissions. Beyond the decarbonisation priorities, the charter points to the need for the oil and gas industry to up its game, including engaging with customers, investing in the energy systems of the future, and increasing transparency in measurement, reporting and independent verification.

In this Action Session we will discuss the role of the GDA, more particularly the OGDC, in supporting oil and gas companies in its ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their operations.
