Following the recently published Methane regulation on European level, Gasunie has developed a new emission registration system capable of increased insights on multiple topics, as well as compliancy with both Dutch and European regulations. The main topics that will be addressed within this paper are: The main build-up and working principles of Gasunie’s emission registration system; Implementation of a leak detection program, compliant with the European Methane regulation; emission reduction, specifically on construction sites and energy efficiency using data analytics and insights.

Gasunie has chosen to move towards a new emission registration system that has become operational on the 1^st of January 2025. This system is based on the system building from the asset data and away functionality based registration. This new way has a lot of distinct advantages. A few of these advantages are: Increased auditability; compliancy capabilities, especially regarding LDAR; increased steering information for managerial decision making and near real time information for operational decision making.

This paper will cover, on a high level, the IT approach of the emission registration system, the link how this system safeguards the compliancy with regulation (specifically the European Methane Regulation), the use of data for energy efficiency reporting and increased energy efficiency and emission reduction efforts on construction sites (and how registration plays an essential role in these efforts).

Furthermore the relevant reporting will be linked to this subjects, like the European Methane regulation, OGMP2.0 guidelines and guidance documents, ISO.50001 norms and internal KPI’s for Gasunie that track progress in both environmental impact and progress in the energy transition.
