INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED AND RESULTS
Continuous Improvement Journey
Between 2009 and 2020 Sakhalin Energy hasimplemented a number of projects that havesignificantly improved the efficiency of theintegrated gas chain, which, has led to areduction in the intensity of greenhouse gasemissions per unit of product
Over the years of operation, the amount of gas flared at onshorefacilities has been significantly reduced by improving thereliability of the LNG plant, optimizing startup procedures, andthe frequency of scheduled shutdowns of the integrated gaschain. On oil platforms - by improving the reliability of gascompressors, optimizing gas flaring during well cleanup or startupwhen low process pressure is required.
As an example, the annual target in 2019 was reducedby more than 20%, from 125.9 kton (2014-2018 average)to 96.5 kton. Nevertheless, actual gas flaringperformance was considerably better at 51.2 kton. Thiswas largely due to a historically best, record-settingreliability performance of several assets

the entire gas chain were screened in detail over the past 6 months. More than 20 are financially promising
WS 3: Carbon neutral LNG
Long term
Shape carbon neutral cargo as a standard offerand deliver number of cargoes per annum with
positive economic effect for buyers and seller
Market of carbon credits
Voluntary market mainly. Driven by CSR agenda and
commitment to reduce GHG
Prices vary and depend on a number of factors:▪ Type of carbon credits (NBS, renewable energy,
cookstoves, clean water, etc.)
▪ Vintage/year
▪ Type of verification standard
▪ Third party provider

WS 4: LT STRATEGIES AND ALTERNATIVES - EXPLORATORY
Growing in the Energy Transition. Key factor: price of carbonReduce gas domestic consumption (maximize LNG for export – engage Sakhalin governments to transition to renewable energy infrastructure/infrastructure master plan for Oblast’)
An initial assessment has been made of the potentials for alternative
energy sources:
- CO2 sequestration: Carbon capture and storage for LNG CO2/GT exhaust, Backfill gas, Train 3
gas; NPV negative projects
SEIC CO2 storage hub for Asia-Pacific (>2 bln. USD)
- Integrating renewables grid energy in SEIC operation to reduce own consumption
▪ Wind parks to generate power to reduce LNG gas power consumption and supply/expand Sakhalin/RF grid (100-200 MUSD, 20 turbines, 70 MW)
▪ Pilot solar power on SEIC buildings/Zima/Assets to reduce-eliminate diesel usage (1 MUSD)
▪ Renewable solutions in remote locations eliminate/minimize diesel generators. (1 MUSD)
▪ Hydrogen/P2X production and storage to store excess energy from renewables (>100 MUSD)
▪ LNG for transport fuel for marine and potentially trucking business (< 5 million USD)

CCS: CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE SCHEME:
Significant CAPEX and OPEX. The use of natural storages close to the installation sites significantly reduces costs
When transporting liquefied CO2 by sea, it is necessary to build a jetty and an unloading terminal, which significantlyincreases the cost of the project
CONCLUSIONS:
The main source of greenhouse gas emissions is the exhaust from power generating equipment (power and power turbines, combustion products from flares)
Capture and compression units can be installed on almost any facility. There are mobile modular solutions with different capacities and degrees of purification
CO2 is stored underground by injection into deep porous, permeable formations, where it is physically trapped by capillary forces beneath seal rocks. Co2 Dissolves in water and converts to solid minerals (Calcite).
For instance, CCS Quest, which is a part of Athabasca Oil Sands Project in Canada has capacity > 1 mln tones СО2e per annum. The cost of the project ~ 1.4 bln. CAD (CAPEX and 10-yearOPEX). The Canadian government has provided the project ~ 865 mln CAD

DECARBONIZATION ASPECTS
• Significant investmentsSignificant reductions in GHG are possible through capital construction and modernization projects
• Technological and technical limitationsOutdated facilities and oil and gas technologies make it impossible to further optimize/modernize production to reduce GHG
• Lack of regulatory mechanisms from the State and BusinessAttempts to legislate a system to control GHG are at the experimental stage and being shaped, as well as a system of incentives toreduce GHG emissions.
• Lack of sufficient material, technical and scientific baseThe study of the absorption capacity of various types of ecosystems requires research and experiments in real environments
• Integration with international practices, methodologies and existing carbon footprint assessment systemsThe world practices of GHG compensation, quantitative methodologies for determining GHG have been sufficiently developed andstandardized. Future domestic developments should take into account this experience
• Readiness of local equipment manufacturers for increased environmental requirements
An analysis of industry readiness for the transition to new, more stringent regulatory standards is needed for possible incentives todesign and produce equipment that meets the new environmental standards

A metric measure used to compare the emissions
from various greenhouse gases on the basis of their
global-warming potential (GWP), by converting
amounts of other gases to the equivalent amount of
carbon dioxide. One standard cargo roughly
contains 250K of CO2 e.
CO2 equivalent (CO2e)
GLOSSARY
The Paris Agreement is an agreement within
the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), dealing
with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation,
adaptation, and finance, signed in 2016. The
agreement's language was negotiated by
representatives of 196 state parties at the 21st
Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in Le
Bourget, near Paris, France, and adopted by
consensus on 12 December 2015. As of February
2020, all UNFCCC members have signed the
agreement, 189 have become party to it, and the
only significant emitters which are not parties
are Iran and Turkey.
Paris Agreements
A carbon credit is a generic term for any tradable
certificate or permit representing the right to emit
one tonne of carbon dioxide or the equivalent
amount of a different greenhouse gas (tCO2e).
Carbon Credit (CC)
Nature-based solutions (NBS) refers to the sustainable
management and use of nature for tackling socio-
environmental challenges. The challenges include issues
such as climate change, water security, water pollution,
food security, human health, and disaster risk
management.
Nature Based Solutions
Carbon Neutral LNG CargoAn LNG cargo bundled with carbon credits to
compensate emissions for production,
shipping/distribution and final product usage.
A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a
gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the
thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the
greenhouse effect on planets. The primary
greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water
vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3).
Greenhouse gas
Reforestation
Afforestation
Conservation
Reforestation is the natural or intentional restocking of
existing forests and woodlands (forestation) that have
been depleted, usually through deforestation.
Reforestation can be used to rectify the effects of
deforestation or improve the quality of human life by
soaking up pollution and dust from the air, rebuilding
natural habitats and ecosystems, mitigating global
warming since forests facilitate bio sequestration of
atmospheric carbon dioxide, and harvesting for
resources, particularly timber, but also non-timber forest
products.
It is a reforestation in an area where there was no
previous tree cover. In some places, forests need help to
reestablish themselves because of environmental factors.
For example, in arid zones, once forest cover is destroyed,
the land may become dry and inhospitable for the
growth of new trees.
Conservation is the practice of planning and maintaining
forested areas, peatlands, mangroves and other
ecosystems for the benefit and sustainability of future
generations. Conservation involves the upkeep of the
natural resources within a system that are beneficial for
both humans and the ecosystem. Forest conservation
acts to maintain, plan, and improve forested areas.
Scopes 1, 2 & 3 (GHG Emission)
Scope 1 - direct GHG emissions occur from sources that
are owned or controlled by the company, for example,
emissions from combustion in owned or controlled
boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.; emissions from chemical
production in owned or controlled process equipment.
Scope 2 - accounts for GHG emissions from the
generation of purchased electricity consumed by a
company. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity
that is purchased or otherwise brought into the
organizational boundary of the company.
Scope 3 is an other indirect emissions. Some examples of
scope 3 activities are extraction and production of
purchased materials; transportation of purchased fuels;
and use of end products and services.
GHG Emission Index (EI)Value indicating effectiveness of Energy utilized for ton
of LNG produced by the Plant in terms of GHG emission
across the IGC.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating
business model that helps a company be socially
accountable - to itself, its stakeholders, and the public.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Over-the-counter (OTC) marketAn over-the-counter (OTC) market is a
decentralized market in which market participants trade
commodities or other instruments directly between two
parties and without a central exchange or broker. Over-
the-counter markets do not have physical locations;
instead, trading is conducted electronically.

COMPARISON OF GHG ESTIMATION APPROACHES
- «Sakhalin Energy» applies «American Petroleum Institute (API) Guideline for Calculating GHG for the Oil and Gas Industry
- Order of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Russia from June 30, 2015 № 300 approved the methodological guidelines for the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions
- Methodological basis for Order No. 300 - guiding documents of the IPCC
- The difference ~ up to 8%.
It is necessary at the state level:- improve measures stimulating improvement of energy efficiency of the companies;- unify the list and methods of GHG determination, ensure accounting, analysis and control of emissions, finalize the Federal Law "On State Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions...".
