        …The MEMR then sets emission intensity factors for the energy sector (Article 8). Following this, the MEMR calculates GHG emissions according to Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 methodology (Article 9). Under the Regulation, the MEMR’s inventory is expressly required to cover methane emissions (Article 5). The Regulation further stipulates that the MEMR must include the following emission sources in its inventory: fuel combustion emissions from energy producing-industries; gas leaks in natural gas pipelines; methane released from coal seams during coal mining activities; and emissions from flaring and venting operations in oil and gas activities (Article 5).
