據美國鉆井網站2021年6月28日報道，美國石油協會(API)日前發布了一個新的模板，供石油和天然氣公司更持續地報告和跟蹤溫室氣體(GHG)指標。

　　這一舉措是在今年春天發布API的氣候行動框架之后做出的，API將其描述為加快氣候解決方案的下一步努力。 根據API的說法，這個新的GHG模板是在與API的成員、金融部門、決策者、行業客戶和其他相關方協商后制定的，旨在提供一套一致和統一的核心溫室氣體指標，使氣候相關報告更具可比性。

　　API強調，其新的GHG模板對指標名稱、度量單位和報告邊界的定義進行了標準化，以促進從一個公司到另一個公司的可比報告。 這個新的GHG模板提示輸入范圍1和范圍2的溫室氣體排放數據，包括企業可以自愿公開報告的核心溫室氣體排放指標。 它還包括公司減少溫室氣體排放努力的指標、公司溫室氣體目標和其他氣候報告資源的地點，以及公司可以表明其第三方核查溫室氣體報告的部分。

　　API總裁兼首席執行官邁克·薩默斯在一份API聲明中表示：“作為一個工程師和問題解決者的行業，我們衡量和跟蹤我們所做的每一件事的進展，旨在透明地分享相關數據。”

　　API Launches New GHG Template

　　The American Petroleum Institute (API) has launched a new template for oil and gas companies to more consistently report and track greenhouse gas (GHG) indicators.

　　The move, which follows the release of the organization’s Climate Action framework in spring, is described by the API as the next step in its efforts to accelerate climate solutions. Developed in consultation with the API’s members, the financial sector, policymakers, industry customers, and other interested parties, the template aims to provide a consistent and uniform set of core GHG indicators to enable greater comparability in climate related reporting, according to the API.

　　API’s template standardizes the names of indicators, units of measure, and the definitions for reporting boundaries to prompt comparable reporting from one company to another, the organization highlights. The template prompts for data on Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions and consists of core GHG emissions indicators that companies can voluntarily report publicly. It is also said to include indicators on a company’s efforts to mitigate GHG emissions and a place to indicate a company’s GHG targets and other climate reporting resources, as well as a section where a company can indicate its third-party verification of GHG reporting.

　　“As an industry of engineers and problem solvers, we measure and track progress in everything we do and aim to share relevant data transparently,” the API’s president and chief executive officer, Mike Sommers, said in an API statement.
