Environmental complex for monitoring, liquidation, disposal, recycling of floating oils and measurement of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions

At most facilities associated with the extraction, processing, transportation, storage, and sale of oil and petroleum products, zones of soil and groundwater contamination are formed by a variety of petroleum hydrocarbons, which are accumulated in oil "lenses" with areas of contamination of a significant size.
At present, the contamination from man-made oil deposits is not taken into account in the total carbon footprint. At the same time, oil deposits have a negative impact on the environment and create risks of more significant man-made accidents, causing damage to human health.
Project objectives:
1. Monitoring of infrastructure facilities, land plots, soils and groundwater contaminated with oil products, fuel and oil wastes with identification of their type, composition, concentration and degree of localization.
2. Monitoring, instrumental measurement, quantification of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O) from petroleum products, fuels and oil waste.
3. Conducting research to determine the geological conditions and mechanism of contamination formation, designing the optimal method of engineering-geological, and technological support of works.
4. Elimination, utilization, recycling of oil waste, bioremediation (of water, soil and atmosphere), soil encapsulation, groundwater treatment.
5. Instrumental determination of GHG emissions, calculation of avoided emissions from eliminated pollutants, development of methods for determining emission volumes.
6. Development of methodological support for the formation, implementation, validation and verification of climate projects with green financing to generate carbon units.
7. Follow-up monitoring of the environmental situation, GHG emissions and prompt response to emerging threats of environmental pollution by petroleum products, fuels and oil wastes.
At present:
1. The required technical equipment has been installed at the pilot facility. 2. Instrumental measurements and accounting of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O) from petroleum products, fuels and oil wastes located at the sites are carried out. 3. Methodological support for validating and verifying the climate project results is being developed.
