Grateful and excited. As the year comes to an end and we finalize projects, it’s also a time to reflect on the progress we’ve made, the challenges we've overcome, and the partnerships that have driven real impact. This year, we’ve seen real progress in the decarbonization of the oil and gas sector, and I’m proud to share some of the milestones we’ve achieved at the The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) We have now built a coalition of 55 of the largest companies in the world, with activities in 104 countries, covering 45% of the world's oil and gas production and 6700 fields. It is a truly inclusive effort, most of the companies are national companies from emerging countries in Asia, Central Asia and Middle East, Africa and South America. Plus our 12 OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative) members of course, which this year also marked a decade of climate action at scale. We in OGCI are proud to host the broader Charter. Combined the scale and reach is phenomenal. As is the purpose: to reduce overall emissions and in particular to bring upstream methane and flaring to near zero by 2030. A key climate action recognized by both COP and IPCC. This year we have built the OGDC platform, developed the Baseline for Action report at COP29, and rolled out the Collaborate & Share program, we’ve taken bold steps toward building a more sustainable, inclusive energy future. But there’s still much more to be done, and I’m excited for what 2025 will bring as we continue to innovate, collaborate, and drive real change together.

This was great forum for discussion. Having candid conversations together to address what’s holding back the Global #Methane Pledge, tech and strategies to detect methane leaks, and how carbon markets can play a key role is necessary to help move the needle. 🎧 Tune in to hear Bjørn Otto Sverdrup, Chairman of our Executive Committee, chat with Henrique Bezerra of Global Methane Hub on Wood Mackenzie Energy Gang podcast hosted by Ed Crooks during #COP29. 🔗 https://okt.to/8m9gCi
Getting real about methane emissions 🎧 More than one hundred countries have pledged to cut methane emissions, with not much to show for it so far. What is being done to change that? Ed Crooks sits down with Henrique Bezerra of Global Methane Hub and Bjørn Otto Sverdrup from The Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) to discuss: - What’s holding back the Global #Methane Pledge - Tech and strategies to detect methane leaks - Can carbon markets play a key role?

👋 We're thrilled to see some new faces in our community. Welcome! You might be wondering what sets the OGDC apart from other important climate work being done? 💡In our inaugural year, we’ve turned a pledge into a global effort to decarbonize the energy sector. Established at COP28 and implemented by the OGCI (Oil and Gas Climate Initiative), the OGDC aims to rally the world’s NOCs and IOCs towards the same goals, making a positive collective contribution to meeting the climate challenge. 🌎 Today we have 55 signatory companies from 104 countries, representing nearly 45% of global oil production. We're making meaningful strides toward climate action across every continent. 🤝 At the OGDC we prioritize collaboration and inclusivity, partnering with companies at all stages of their decarbonization journey. 66% of our signatories are NOCs who are key players shaping both national economies and the future energy landscape. ⛓️What unites us all is a shared commitment to progress. Every signatory is working toward the aims set out in our charter: 🟢 Net-zero operations by 2050 🟢 Near-zero upstream methane emissions by 2030 🟢 Zero routine flaring by 2030 🟢 Setting and sharing 2030 Scope 1 & 2 emissions ambitions ⚙️ Through our Collaborate & Share Program, signatories have free access to industry best practices, technical workshops, and tools to enhance measurement and reporting, to advance their decarbonization efforts. There is much more to do but together, we are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change in global and regional energy transitions. Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey to decarbonize the industry! Stay tuned for what's coming in 2025!

Knowledge Sharing = Climate Action 🌍 Launched in 2024, the Collaborate & Share program is built on the belief that we are smarter when we work together. The program offers all signatories free access to a wealth of shared best practices, technical workshops, and opportunities for peer-to-peer collaboration through joint workshops, technology deployments, and partnerships. Signatories also gain access to training and tools that support the integration of advanced measurement techniques and data reporting, aligned with globally recognized environmental frameworks. Here's one example of Collaborate & Share in action: ONGC Videsh Ltd and TotalEnergies Partner to Eliminate Methane Emissions. As part of the Charter's commitment to sharing best practices, TotalEnergies has made its pioneering AUSEA technology available to national oil companies. This collaboration enables partners to carry out methane detection and measurement using drone campaigns directly on their assets. This year, TotalEnergies and ONGC signed a cooperation agreement to conduct drone-based methane detection at three ONGC-operated sites in 2025. This is a critical step towards ONGC’s efforts of achieving zero methane emissions by 2030. 💡 For more insights, check out the details on this and other case studies in our 2024 Baselining Report https://lnkd.in/gQta4iSQ #ClimateAction #Collaboration #MethaneReduction
