アルジェリアの三大生産盆地（ハシ・ルメル、イリジ・ガダメス、ウエド・ミャ）のメタン排出をMethaneSAT観測で定量化。総排出量は85 t/hで、ガス生産基準の強度は1.5%、エネルギー基準では0.15 kg CH4/GJ。これはOGDCの2030年目標のベンチマーク0.2%を大幅に上回り、EUメタン規制の輸入強度基準への適合が課題となる。
English
Using MethaneSAT data, this study quantifies methane emissions from Algeria's three major production basins, finding total emissions of 85 t/h and gas-normalized intensity of 1.5%, far exceeding the 0.2% benchmark of the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter. The results highlight challenges for meeting EU Methane Regulation import thresholds by 2030.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本はLNG輸入の一部を中東・アフリカに依存しており、サプライチェーン全体のメタン排出管理が重要。本研究成果は、輸入先の排出実態を把握し、調達リスク評価やScope 3排出量算定の精度向上に寄与する。
In the global GX context
This study provides critical empirical evidence on methane emissions from a major EU gas supplier, informing the implementation of the EU Methane Regulation and global efforts to reduce methane emissions. It underscores the need for robust monitoring and verification in producing regions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Algeria, Africa's largest natural gas producer and a major European Union gas supplier, has limited basin-scale assessment of oil and gas methane emissions. Here, we use MethaneSAT observations from September 2024 to May 2025 to quantify methane emissions across three Algerian production regions representing 73% of national onshore production. Total methane emissions are 18 t h⁻¹ [11–25] in Hassi R'Mel, 25 t h⁻¹ [14–39] in Illizi-Ghadames, and 48 t h⁻¹ [31–65] in Oued Mya, with gas production-normalized intensities of 0.5%, 1.7%, and 6.9%, respectively. Energy-normalized methane intensities are 0.07, 0.19, and 0.22 kg CH₄ GJ⁻¹, respectively, with oil-dominant Oued Mya exceeding gas-dominant Hassi R'Mel by roughly threefold. Across the three basins, total methane emissions are 85 t h⁻¹ [58–113], including ~80 t h⁻¹ attributable to oil and gas, at a gas production-normalized intensity of 1.5% and energy-normalized intensity of 0.15 kg CH₄ GJ⁻¹. Our results substantially exceed the 0.2% methane intensity benchmark underpinning the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter's near-zero 2030 ambition, and exceed the Global Fuel Exploitation Inventory v3 bottom-up estimate of 61 t h⁻¹ by more than 25%. Continued Algerian basin-level monitoring is important for effective methane mitigation, especially as EU Methane Regulation (2024/1787) import intensity thresholds take effect by 2030.
