AND FUGITIVE EMISSIONS FROM MIDSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM 
PETROLEUM OPERATIONS IN NIGERIA 
b) Update any previously approved/submitted GHG management Plan to reflect 
material changes in operations, equipment, emission sources or other relevant 
parameters and submit within six (6) months from the effective date of these 
Guidelines for approval. 
2.2.3 
The GHG Management Plan shall include the following: 
c) 
d) 
e) 
2.2.6 
Qhit 
The scope of operation and emission sources 
An inventory of all equipment that generate GHG. The inventory of equipment 
shall comply with the provisions of the relevant GHG reporting requirements in 
Section 4.2. 
Established 
baseline emission data 
with 
a base 
year, guided 
by 
historical 
dataset, against which all future GHG emissions shall be compared. 
Techniques/procedures for emission quantification and accounting. 
Strategies 
to reduce GHG emissions 
to 
attain 
net-zero, 
indicating annual 
percentage reduction targets. 
Provide a timeline to replace single cycle gas turbines with 
a combined cycle 
by 
2030, 
for 
existing 
facilities. 
Use 
of combined 
cycle 
turbines 
shall 
be 
implemented immediately for new projects. 
Strategies to achieve at least 2.5% per year reduction in GHG intensity (refer to 
Appendix I{e)). 
Ensure 
the 
retrofitting 
of equipment 
or 
installation 
of new equipment 
as 
applicable, in line with the provisions of Section 3 of these Guidelines. 
Ensure adequate monitoring of activities/operations that emit GHG, especially 
venting, 
flaring, 
fugitive emissions/leaks 
from 
process equipment and 
gas 
transmission pipelines. 
Establish a system for identifying, classifying, and quantifying GHG emissions from 
its activities or operations. 
Ensure submission of GHG monitoring reports quarterly, by the first week of the 
succeeding month, to the Authority.
