The paper assesses fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases from the petroleum and coal industries of the Novosibirsk region. The authors compiled a database for calculations and justified the choice of conversion factors for greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources. The dynamics analysis of production, primary processing and transportation of raw materials in oil and gas and coal industries of the Novosibirsk region was carried out, location map of the main industrial facilities and pipelines was compiled, the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions were identified, and the uncertainty ranges of calculations were presented. It is shown that the main source of fugitive emissions in the region is an open-pit coal mining and its subsequent transportation. Moreover, a significant amount of emissions is created during gas transportation via main pipelines and gas distribution.
Keywords: fugitive emissions, coal industry, oil and gas industry, production, processing, transport, greenhouse gases, emission estimation, uncertainty.
