Transport emissions measurements
• 3 Measurement Points have been established to measure harmful
emissions fro transport.
• Volume of transport emissions determines by instrumental methods.
• Vehicles do not meet Avro-2 standards after implementation of
appropriate measures should be re-sent to the measurement points.
SOCAR-GGFR partnership
• “SOCAR Associated Gas Reduction Plan” was approved in 2010
• Due to the technical measures implemented by SOCAR in 2011, the
real amount of associated gas vented into the atmosphere was
reduced from 436 mln m3 to 120 mln m3.

SOCAR-GGFR partnership
•
GGFR Europe and Central Asia Regional Committee's annual
meeting was held in Baku on 16-17 June of 2011
•
”Azerbaijan Experience in the field of Associated Gas
Reduction and Utilization“ Conference
SOCAR-GGFR partnership
•
•
•
In 2011 measurement equipment for identification of gas emission
volumes were provided and Ecological Department‘s staff was trained
within the framework of technical assistance by GGFR.
Special measurement methodology were prepared by SOCAR experts
Auxiliary equipments were designed to support field measurement
activities
“Höntzsch” measuring device
Auxiliary equipment
Practical measurements
•
In September of 2011, by means of instrumental measurements
the volumes of associated gas emitted into the atmospheres from
"Siyazanneft" oil and gas extraction unit’s (OGEU) wells were
determined - the first experience.
•
Last year, according to the results of the measurements at
"Siyazanneft" OGPU 14,2 mln. m3/year of associated gas
emissions were determined.
•
A Feasibility Study is under preparation to collect low pressure
gas from "Siyazanneft" OGPU .
•
A measurements plan for 2012 was developed and works in this
direction continues.
Completed projects on reducing of associated
gas atmospheric emissions
“Guneshli” OGEU :
•
4 mln. m3 per day collecting associated gas compressor station
was built.
•
Station is equipped by compressors - the capacity of each one
is 2 mln.m3.
•
The station was put into operation on 4 May 2012
“Neft Dashlari” OGEU:
•
At the territory of OGEU in the framework of associated gas
utilization project 66 vacuum compressors NQK-7/1-5 were
installed
•
Compressors are manufactured in Azerbaijan
•
Annual collection of associated gas is 280 mln. m3
•
More than 1 year the PDD of the project is at validation stage
within the framework of CDM
Reducing of associated gas atmospheric
emissions – Guneshli field, Platform №4
Other projects implemented by SOCAR in the
field of GHG reducing
•
At present, the dry gas obtained as by-product of oil refinery sent
through the pipe lines to the "Ethylene-polyethylene" plant in
Sumgait city.
•
As a result transportation costs reduced, transport and fuel used
for raw materials transportation reduced, and this has led to
considerable decrease of the GHG and harmful emissions into the
atmosphere.
•
Actual amount of emissions reduction is being assessed by the
SOCAR’s Department of Ecology
Partnership with “Carbon Limits” Company
• Development of “Effectively utilization of associated gas” project
with the support of EBRD
• Data Submission for project activity by Department of Ecology.
• Future directions for partnership based on the results of
negotiations were determined
• The workshop with “Carbon Limits’” is scheduled for September of
2012
• Information potential small scale projects that could be financed
by the EBRD was provided.
Partnership with German “DİW econ” Company
•
In the framework of partnership “Climate Change Mitigation
Strategy of SOCAR “was developed and approved.
•
Joint assessment of the following proposals are carried out:
- Improvement of the GHG monitoring system;
- Future perspectives for SOCAR Ecological Park development;
- Replacement of old compressors by new ones;
- Study of Use of alternative fuels for SOCAR transport vehicles;
- Forest planting at the territory of SOCAR.

Development of Ecological Park
• SOCAR Ecological Park – the first demonstrative ecological project in
Azerbaijan Republic.
• Approximately 40% of energy used in Eco Park is covered by
renewable, transition to full scale alternative energy use in underway.
• Every year 200 thousand units of seedlings are cultivated at the Eco
Park territory for vegetation of oil contaminated areas.
• With this project, SOCAR has achieved 3.6 thousands tons of carbon
dioxide reduction per year (in CO2 ekv.).

Next step (project idea)
Replacement of old compressors by new ones
• At the compressor station of “Azneft” PU Gas Storages significant
number of old outdated compressors operates.
• In the framework of SOCAR – “DIW econ” Company partnership
technical-economical assessment of the project was carried out and
“Replacement of old compressors by new ones “ PIN was prepared.
• This project will increase the
energy efficiency, but also has
positive environmental impacts
• As a result of implementation of the
project :
1. More efficient operations will help
to save 18.3 million m3 of gas and
2. will reduce the amount of CO2
equivalent of GHG emissions into
atmosphere by 37 thousand tons
Compressor
Use of alternative fuel in SOCAR Transport
system
• The project idea on replacement of “Azerikimya” PU ‘s old
outdated buses, worked on liquid fuel by new ones, working on
hydrogen was prepared.
Project benefits:
1. For SOCAR: they consist of the existing of SOCAR’s chemical
plants already producing Hydrogen as a by-product, so “0” cost
for fuel
2. For environment: reduction to virtually zero of emissions of
greenhouse gases as well as a reduction of emissions of other
danger to human health gases.
• At present Eco Park use elektromobil vehicles for inside
transportation.
• İn addition, for Eco Park staff and guests purchase of a new
electro-bus was planned.
Planting of forests on the territory of SOCAR
• The project idea on “Planting of forests
on the territory of 100 ha of SOCAR”
was developed by experts of SOCAR
Ecological Department.
• The main purpose is to create forests at
the SOCAR lands which will led to
environmental improvements and most
importantly will help to reduce carbon
emissions.
• According to calculations carried out for
an area of 100 ha, forest planting will
led to 1,8 thousands t of CO2 emissions
reduction.
• After approval procedure project will be
submit to CDM National Designated
Authorities for registration.
