The proposed methodology revision applies to project activities that recover and destroy the methane in the methane-rich vapours from hydrocarbon storage tanks within existing oil production facilities, oil and gas pre-treatment facilities, gas processing plants, oil treatment facilities, and liquid hydrocarbon storage tanks and loading stations, by use of vapour recovery units. This revision intends to improve accuracy and implementation experience.
