Client: LLC "Eastern Mining Company"
Location: Russia
Project: Development of a methodology for calculating the volume of fugitive emissions during open-pit mining of coal
Purpose: carry out calculations of quota sizes for various modifications of GHG emission accounting and make proposals for adjusting the calculation methodology.
Approach:
The project was carried out in the context of an experiment to limit greenhouse gas emissions in certain regions of the Russian Federation in the Sakhalin region.

ENSOR specialists performed:
- Analysis of draft by-laws
- Review of methods for accounting for fugitive greenhouse gas emissions from open-pit coal mining (IPCC, EU, India, Australia, China, USA, UK, Canada)
- Review of practices for reducing GHG emissions in coal mines, including from associated operations
- Analysis of accounting for fugitive emissions in the calculation of GHG emission quotas in different countries (Great Britain, Australia, China, India, USA, Canada, countries of the so-called Big 20
- Calculation of Client quota sizes for various modifications of GHG emission accounting
- Methodology for calculating quotas for GHG emissions: proposals for adjustments regarding accounting for fugitive emissions.
