International Working Group to Establish a Greenhouse Gas Supply Chain Emissions Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) Framework

The International Working Group to Establish a Greenhouse Gas Supply Chain Emissions Measurement, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MMRV) Framework is an initiative between 13 countries, the European Commission and the East Mediterranean Gas Forum to develop a consensus-based approach for an MMRV framework of GHG emissions across the international supply chain for natural gas.
The MMRV Working Group aims to advance comparability between existing domestic and international frameworks by providing a consistent set of technical criteria for reporting emissions and operating data at various levels of data availability. Their approach will encourage and prefer measured data over modeled data and estimations, technology neutrality with respect to approaches for measurement of emissions and independent third-party verification from accredited and technically qualified certifiers. Ultimately, this these actions will improve the accuracy and representativeness of the reported data.
The MMRV Working Group is set to work through 2024 and invites the input of global and local industry, environmental and technical stakeholders and the oil and natural gas industry to develop appropriate guidance, protocols and tools for voluntary use in natural gas markets. The Working Group may eventually expand to include other hydrocarbons.
