2 Oil Companies, one based in Permian and one based in Bakken in the US.  Permian and Bakken each has 2 Audited Emissions Certificates, one for methane and one for flaring.  These are denominated in kgCO2e total emissions for both:

  • Permian Methane total emissions = P0
  • Permian Flaring total emissions = P1
  • Bakken Methane total emissions = B0
  • Bakken Flaring total emissions = B1

CarbonTracker (C-NFT) links to the Audited Emissions Certificates, so there is a C-NFT for Permian linking to 2 audited emissions certificates (methane and flaring) and a C-NFT for Bakken linking to 2 audited certificates (methane and flaring):

  • Permian C-NFT = (P0 + P1)/ total fuel produced (boe)
  • Bakken C-NFT = (B0 + B1)/ total fuel produced (boe)

C-NFT is denominated in boe because both oil and natural gas are produced.

Local Gas utility buys 1 million cubic-meter natural gas, 60% from oil company in Bakken and 40% from oil company in Permian.

  • Local Gas methane emissions per cubic-meter natural gas = (BOE/cubic-meter natural gas) * (60% * Permian C-NFT + 40% * Bakken C-NFT)
  • Local Gas total = 1 million * above number
  • Local Gas can be certified based on its methane emissions per cubic-meter natural gas 

Consumer buys 2000 cubic-feet natural gas from Local Gas utility.

  • 2000 cubic-feet natural gas =(cubic-meter/cubic-feet) * Local Gas methane emissions per cubic-meter natural gas
