Glossary:Operational emissions
Methane emissions from normal or planned operating activities. This includes release through stacks; blow off valves, pressure release and purging of turbines and emissions due to normal maintenance inspection and control. Operational vents comprise planned venting and purging of pipelines, which is usually done during commissioning, decommissioning, renewal and maintenance of pipelines for safety reasons to prevent the risk of explosions. Pneumatic device emissions are also operational emissions.[1]
