Quantification protocol for greenhouse gas emission reductions from pneumatic devices. Version 3.x

Description

This protocol is effective January 1, 2023 and must be used to quantify emission offsets generated in the 2023 vintage going forward. This quantification protocol is written for the oil and gas industry where natural gas is used to provide pneumatic power for automated process control and operational devices. Devices include pressure controllers, temperature controllers, transducers, liquid level controllers, flow rate regulators and chemical pumps. The opportunity for generating emission offsets arises from the direct and indirect reduction in greenhouse gases resulting from the conversion of instrument gas to instrument air in process control systems, conversion of pumps, and vent gas capture.
