Emission Factor
An emission factor is a generic, statistically derived estimate of how much methane or other pollutant a given type of equipment or activity is assumed to release, used to estimate total emissions by multiplying activity counts by the relevant factor rather than measuring actual releases. Emission-factor-based reporting is the long-standing default across the oil and gas sector, but it systematically misses large, intermittent releases from abnormal operation or equipment failure - which is precisely the gap that measurement-based frameworks such as OGMP 2.0 are designed to close by requiring source-level, measured data instead.
