Online system to monitor CO2 emissions

LogicaCMG awarded contract to host and maintain the system

A new UK-wide Environmental Emissions Monitoring System (EEMS) will help the UK oil and gas industry monitor and manage CO2 emissions.

Collabro, acting on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), announced today that it has awarded a €500,000 (£329,262) contract to LogicaCMG covering hosting, support and maintenance of the system.

Stewart Robinson, energy resources consultant at the DTI, says the department regards the new EEMS system as a key element in its Environmental Regulatory function.

'The new EEMS is the mechanism for oil companies to submit their environmental returns and these will, in turn, be used by the DTI for government reporting requirements,' he said.

'These techniques adopt the emerging government reporting requirements for the web and over time will be extended to incorporate the emerging government authentication recommendations.'

EEMS will provide access to qualitative and quantitative data for all emissions and discharges to the environment from offshore installations and associated onshore terminals. The DTI and UK Offshore Operators Association (UKOOA) are joint stakeholders in the provision of the EEMS service.

The new EEMS will be used to make the annual European Union Environmental returns and subsequently the Kyoto returns.
