Decarbonisation options for the Dutch onshore O&G Industry

This report gives an overview into the processes involved with onshore natural gas production, storage, transport and distribution and suggests technological options to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions related to their operations. The emissions associated with the onshore NG extraction, transport and distribution were about 200 kt CO2 and 11 kt methane (corresponding to 320 kt CO2-equivalent) in 2019. The study also highlights the lack of publicly available data for the onshore oil and gas industry in the Netherlands. Another point noted is the absence of any public, recent, and up-to-date decarbonisation studies for the industry.
