Standardization for Methane Emissions Detection, Quantification, Data Quality, and Verification

Lead Proponent

Canadian Standards Association

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to establish standardized methodologies for methane measurement, reporting and verification by developing two guidelines: 1) for evaluating and selecting technologies used to measure and quantify methane emissions, and 2) for ensuring the quality and verification of methane emissions data.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

1. Support consistency in measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of methane emissions.
2. Align with internationally accepted methane MRV approaches.
3. Provide a unified methane MRV basis for Canada’s oil and gas sector.
