EMISSIONS MEASUREMENT & MITIGATION
Leading the Way in Emissions Measurement & Mitigation
In the Oil & Gas upstream and midstream sectors, methane emissions significantly impact climate change, necessitating robust mitigation strategies. For downstream operations, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pose substantial risks to human health, requiring improvements in air quality.
At Bureau Veritas, our commitment to creating trusted partnerships with our clients is central to our mission. We are dedicated to excellence in emissions mitigation, positioning us as a reliable partner for companies aiming to achieve regulatory compliance, enhance their market reputation, and contribute to environmental sustainability. Our solutions are designed to align with our clients' strategic goals and sustainability objectives.
With over 35 years of experience at the forefront of emission mitigation and our close involvement in the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0) Bureau Veritas is committed to working with emerging technology providers in this space providing leadership in promoting sustainable practices within the oil and gas industry.
New regulations, such as the REGULATION (EU) 2024/1787 and voluntary schemes like OGMP 2.0, drive the necessity for comprehensive emissions mitigation services. Bureau Veritas is committed to helping clients navigate these challenges effectively and support the overall aim of the Paris agreement (reached at COP21) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit the rise in global average temperature to well below 2ºc (compared to pre-industrial levels), with an effort to limit the increase to 1.5ºc
