UNECE Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) and Mitigation best practice guidance. The document offers recommendations for developing and implementing effective methane quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) practices within the oil and gas sector. It serves as a comprehensive resource for a wide range of stakeholders, including facility owners, operators, and policymakers at all levels of government, aiming to promote sound MRV practices that are both effective and cost-efficient. The document is principles-based, acknowledging that conditions vary significantly across different oil and gas operations and that legal, political, and institutional contexts differ between jurisdictions.
