GBF Target 7
GRI 11: Oil and Gas Sector
SASB RR-BI-120a.1 Air emissions (metric tonnes) of the following pollutants: (1) NOx (excluding N2O), (2) SOx, (3) volatile organic compounds (VOCs), (4) particulate matter (PM10), and (5) hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
TNFD C2.4 Utilities, Thermal - From the list of pollutants under this core global disclosure metric, an organisation should include: • Fine particulate matter (PM2.5); • Sulphur dioxide (SOx); • Nitrogen oxides (NOx); • Nonmethane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC); and • Ammonia (NH3). Additional pollutants to report under the core global disclosure metric include: • Heavy metals (HM) as referred to in Annex I of EU Directive 2016/2284; • Coal pile dust; • Emissions from ash lagoons or ponds; Precipitator dust; and • Reservoir drawdown dust. An organisation should also report: • Emissions of these pollutants per MWh net generation Oil & Gas - Additional pollutants to report under this core global disclosure metric include: • Hazardous air pollutants (HAP), such as benzene (C6 H6), hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) and ozone (O3 ). Reporting under this core global disclosure metric should include air emissions released during: production and processing; refining, distribution and storage; flaring and venting; fuel combustion for powering machinery; transportation of supplies and products; evaporation losses; fugitive emissions from equipment leaks and failures; process-safety incidents and events; and fuel combustion by end-users.
