This document defines methods that measure amounts of bacterial cells or a marker gene DNA to obtain the total abundance in environmental aqueous samples, such as seawater and river water, for biodegradability assessment. Amounts of a marker gene DNA enable to give a prediction of abundance of bacterial cells by using a conversion factor such as average number of the marker gene homologues in a bacterial cell. The methods could be also applicable to aqueous samples artificially enriched with bacterial cells released from environmental sediments. In addition, this document is applicable to solution with bacteria extracted from environmental sediments and plastic surfaces, where appropriate pre-treatment might be defined elsewhere. In the document, the method provides measurement of prokaryotic bacterial cells, though eukaryotic microorganisms are out of scope.

NOTE   Eukaryotic microorganisms, especially fungi, are well known to be primary decomposers in land, but the role in hydrosphere has been less documented and is largely unknown yet. Actually, the proportion of fungi in the ocean whole microbial metagenome has been reported as low (fungal reads make up 1,4 % to 2,9 % [2]).

This document specifies a general framework, including principles, requirements and guidance for assessing and reporting investments and financing activities related to climate change. The assessment of these interactions includes the following items: • The impacts of the investment decisions on GHG emissions trends in the real economy. • The compatibility of investment and financing decisions with low carbon transition pathways and climate goals; • The risk on financial value for owners of financial assets (e.g. private equities, listed stocks, bonds, loans) arising from climate goals or climate policies; This standard provides guidance on how to determine benchmarks for low carbon transition pathways and how to assess progress of investment portfolios and financing activities regarding such benchmarks. This standard provides guidance on how to set targets and determine metrics to be used for tracking progress related to low carbon transition pathways and climate goals. This standard describes climate finance actions contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions and climate goals and how to assess their impacts. The low carbon transition pathways in scope can include objectives related to both mitigation and adaptation, and potential other development goals.

This document provides guidance for an organization implementing a management system based on ISO/UNDP 53001, to optimize contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

This document is generic and applicable to all organizations, regardless of the organization’s type or size, or the nature of the products or services delivered.

NOTE 1: This document supports the current UN SDGs and any subsequent global agreements that supersede the 2030 UN Agenda.

NOTE 2: This document does not add to the requirements in ISO/UNDP 53001 or describe the only way to meet those requirements. The use of the term “should” does not weaken any of the requirements in ISO/UNDP 53001 or add new requirements.

This document defines a list of cross-cutting terms commonly used in the field of carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological sub-surface storage including through storage in association with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. This document only deals with CO2 geological sub-surface storage. The terms are classified as follows: — general terms and definitions relating to carbon dioxide; — general terms and definitions relating to carbon dioxide capture, transportation and storage; — general terms and definitions relating to monitoring and measuring performance in carbon dioxide capture, transportation and geological storage; — general terms and definitions relating to risk; — general terms and definitions relating to relationships with stakeholders; A list of the main acronyms used is given in Annex A.

This document provides a method to calculate the GHG emissions from an LNG liquefaction plant, onshore or offshore. The frame of this document ranges from the inlet flange of the LNG plant’s inlet facilities up to and including the offloading arms to truck, ship or railcar loading. The upstream supply of gas up to the inlet flange of the inlet facilities and the distribution of LNG downstream of the loading arms are only covered in general terms. This document covers: —    all facilities associated with producing LNG, including reception facilities, condensate unit (where applicable), pre-treatment units (including but not limited to acid gas removal, dehydration, mercury removal, heavies removal), LPG extraction and fractionation (where applicable), liquefaction, LNG storage and loading, Boil-Off-Gas handling, flare and disposal systems, imported electricity or on-site power generation and other plant utilities and infrastructure (e.g. marine and transportation facilities). —    natural gas liquefaction facilities associated with producing other products (e.g. domestic gas, condensate, LPG, sulphur, power export) to the extent required to allocate GHG emissions to the different products. —    all GHG emissions associated with producing LNG. These emissions spread across scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 of the responsible organization. Scope 1, 2 and 3 are defined in this document. All emissions sources are covered including flaring, combustion, cold vents, process vents, fugitive leaks and emissions associated with imported energy. The LNG plant is considered “under operation”, including emissions associated with initial start-up, maintenance, turnaround and restarts after maintenance or upset. The construction, commissioning, extension and decommissioning phases are excluded from this document but can be assessed separately. The emissions resulting from boil-off gas management during loading of the ship or any export vehicle are covered by this document. The emissions from a ship at berth, e.g. mast venting are not covered by this document. This document describes the allocation of GHG emissions to LNG and other hydrocarbon products where other products are produced (e.g. LPG, domestic gas, condensates, sulphur, etc.). This document defines preferred units of measurement and necessary conversions. This document also recommends instrumentation and estimations methods to monitor and report GHG emissions. Some emissions are measured and some are estimated. This document is applicable to the LNG industry. Applications include the provision of method to calculate GHG emissions through a standardized and auditable method, a means to determine their carbon footprint.

This document: —    provides the general part of the method to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the liquefied natural gas (LNG) chain, a means to determine their carbon footprint; —    defines preferred units of measurement and necessary conversions; —    recommends instrumentation and estimation methods to monitor and report GHG emissions. Some emissions are measured; and some are estimated. This document covers all facilities in the LNG chain. The facilities are considered “under operation”, including emissions associated with initial start-up, maintenance, turnaround and restarts after maintenance or upset. The construction, commissioning, extension and decommissioning phases are excluded from this document but can be assessed separately. This document covers all GHG emissions.

All emissions sources are covered including flaring, combustion, cold vents, process vents, fugitive leaks and emissions associated with imported energy. This document describes the allocation of GHG emissions to LNG and other hydrocarbon products where other products are produced (e.g. LPG, domestic gas, condensates, sulfur).

This document provides a method to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during natural gas production (onshore or offshore), gas processing and gas transport to liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction plant. NOTE         It can be applied to other gases as biogas or non-traditional types of natural gas. This document covers all facilities associated with producing natural gas, including: —    drilling (exploration, appraisal, and development) and production wells; —    gas gathering network and boosting stations (if any); —    gas processing facilities (if any), transport gas pipelines with compression stations (if any) up to inlet valve of LNG liquefaction plant.
