Agenda: https://pidx.org/calendar/pidx-2022-spring-conference/
There is a seismic shift in the industry to reduce carbon emissions. The energy industry is faced with not only the challenges of emissions reporting but also the move to cleaner energy sources. As more and more large operators make commitments to reduce GHG emissions, all companies participating in their supply chain will be under increased pressure to produce accurate and granular emissions data. PIDX has recognized the need for an industry-specific standard for capturing and communicating this data across the supply chain.
Conference will focus on:
- Net Zero: Discover what the energy industry’s goals are for Net-Zero. Hear from our members on their plans and progress towards this goal
- Emissions Transparency: Reporting greenhouse gas emissions will be key to measuring success towards net zero. Learn where we are today as an industry and the changes required in the near term to accelerate industry-wide adoption of emissions reporting.
- Supply Chain: PIDX’s ETDX team has developed a proof of concept for Scope 3 category 1 emissions reporting in the supply chain. The team is continuing to work on the agreed industry approach and will present the analysis at the conference.

When oil and gas operators want to count and report their total emissions from a project, they need to include the emissions ’embedded’ in the products they buy. These are part of the ‘scope 3’ (value chain) emissions. The challenge is that the number of possible emission sources is unlimited and not all of the data is available. So you need a common sense approach to trying to include as many of the large sources, and as much available data, and making estimates for the rest, or working on the basis it is too small to count. In this webinar we’ll illustrate this with the challenge of an oil and gas operator working out the emissions. We’ll discuss a method for mapping out the emissions, methods that the emissions can be audited by an external body, and where these systems will be progressing.
