    Mitigation of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants from APG-Flaring
    (Arctic Council Secretariat, 2021-05) ACAP
    The purpose of the Project is to address SLCPs (primarily Black Carbon, Methane and non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions associated with APG flaring that impact the Arctic Zone environment.

    Black Carbon from the Oil and Gas Sector
    (Arctic Council Secretariat, 2021-05) ACAP
    On September 27-28, 2020, the Arctic Council’s Arctic Contamination Action program (ACAP) Working Group held a webinar on Black Carbon and Methane from the Oil and Gas Sector, arranged in cooperation with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia, the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) and Carbon Limits. Over two days the webinar brought together about 100 experts representing governments of the Arctic States, Arctic Council bodies and other international organization and initiatives, as well as the scientific community and oil and gas companies with operations in the Arctic. The objective was to share knowledge and perspectives and discuss ways to effectively address black carbon and methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.

    Evaluation of Potential Impact of APG Flaring on Arctic Zone Environment
    (ACS, 2019) ACAP
    This report summarizes results of Phase 1A of the ACAP project: “Mitigation of Short Lived Climate Pollutants from APG - flaring” The purpose of the Project is to address SLCPs (primarily Black Carbon, Methane and non-methane Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions associated with APG flaring impacting the Arctic Zone environment. The Project is being implemented in a number of phases. This report presents the results of a comprehensive analysis (period 2010-2016) and projections (till 2025) of APG production and reduction of SLCP emissions from APG flaring in the Russian Arctic zone (RAZ) in different production and utilization scenarios. Gas programs of Novoportovskoye oil field (GPN) and of Salym-Shapsha group of oil fields (BG) are highlighted in the Report, an assessment of related environmental impacts from the assets of Novoportovskoye (GPN) and Salym-Shapsha group (BG) of oil fields is presented. Traditional and local knowledge (TLK) was analysed and taken into account within the Project work. Discrepancies in approaches for estimation of emissions of SLCP were identified and recommendations for improving SLCP emissions estimates were prepared.
