Article 12 – paragraph 2
Article 12 – paragraph 2
2. By … [24 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation], operators shall also submit a report to the competent authorities containing direct measurementsquantification of source-level methane emissions for operated assets. Reporting at such level may involve the use of source- level measurement and sampling as the basis for establishingWhen emission factors are used, the quantification shall involve specific emission factors used for emissions estimation.
Amendment 414 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
Article 12 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
By … [36 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation] and by 30 March every year thereafter, operators shall submit a report to the competent authorities containing direct measurementsquantification of source-level methane emissions for operated assets referred to in paragraph 2, complemented by measurements of site- level methane emissions, thereby allowing assessment and verification of the source- level estimates aggregated by site. If the technologies for site-level measurement do not reach satisfactory technology readiness levels or market availability an operator can request the competent authority to postpone site-level measurements by one year.
Amendment 493 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 8
Article 12 – paragraph 8
8. In the case of significant discrepancies between the emissions quantified using source-level methods and those resulting from site-level measurement, additional measurements shall be carried ou operators shall provide reasoning for the discrepancy. If the discrepancy is not due to the technological limits of employed quantification methods, the competent authority may request an additional measurement within the same reporting period.
Amendment 579 #

Article 14 – paragraph 4
Article 14 – paragraph 4
Amendment 581 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 1
Operators shall repair or replace all components found to be emitting 500 parts per million or more of methanemake a first attempt to repair all detected leaks no later than five days after detection. Where the first attempt referred to in the first subparagraph is not successful or possible due to safety, administrative, or technical considerations, the operators shall establish a repair and monitoring schedule no later than [30] days after detection.
Amendment 598 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 2
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 2
The repair or replacement of the componentsand monitoring schedule referred to in the firstsecond subparagraph shall take place immediately after detection, or as soon as possible thereafter but no later than five days after detection, provided operators can demonstrate that safety or technical considerations do not allow immediate action and provided operators establish a repair and monitoring schedulefollow the existing European standards and guarantee that the environmental impact is minimized, while respecting safety, administrative, and technical considerations.
Amendment 616 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 3
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 3
Safety, administrative and technical considerations that do not allow immediate action, as referred to in the second and third subparagraph, shall be limited to taking into account: • safety to personnel and humans in proximity, environmental impacts, concentration of methane loss, accessibility to component, availability of replacement of the component. Environmental impact considerations may include instances whereby repair could lead to a higher level of methane emissions than in the absence ofhumans and objects in proximity, • significant deterioration of the gas supply, • continuity of supply to end consumers, • administrative authorizations, • accessibility to component, • availability of parts necessary for the repair.
Amendment 623 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 4
Article 14 – paragraph 4 – subparagraph 4
Where a system shutdown is required before the repair or replacement can be undertaken, operators shall minimise the leak within one day of detection and shall repair the leak by the end of the next scheduled system shutdown or within a year, whichever is soonerthe emission abatement cost for a repair is higher than the limit set by ACER, the operators shall postpone the repair provided that they disclose to the competent authority the calculation details in the repair and monitoring schedule.
Amendment 780 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 15 – paragraph 5 a (new)
Article 15 – paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Where implementing venting or flaring provisions leads to an abatement cost higher than the limit set by ACER, the operators shall minimize the vented emissions by other available more cost- efficient means and include the justification in the report according to Article 17.
Amendment 795 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 15 – paragraph 5 b (new)
Article 15 – paragraph 5 b (new)
5 b. Where implementing venting or flaring provisions requires an approval of relevant authorities, permitting, procuring, and installing new equipment, operators shall proceed at the fastest possible schedule. The competent authorities may request the details of the schedule and request modifications.
