CoMAT was created to use a process that allows countries to continually refine their estimations based on the best available information about a country’s oil and gas industry. By using CoMAT’s emissions calculations and inventory tools, countries can explore variables and specific policy options that can result in pollution reduction.

• Start with general information about current oil and gas production and consumption in your country – or use projections for a future year.
• Modify existing values about your oil and gas infrastructure: number of wells, compressor stations, miles of pipeline and more.
• Tailor the built-in equipment inventory based on your on-the-ground knowledge of oil and gas operations in your country. Unavailable information can be estimated with the tool’s default parameters.

• Enter the values that best reflect your country’s unique case. You can make estimates using CoMAT’s default assumptions or modify them based on additional information specific to your country.
• Explore the tool’s mitigation planning functionality and design your country’s Methane Abatement Plan by applying leading global policies and proven best practices.
• View potential mitigation reductions by emission source.
• Review the leading methane policies and regulatory requirements using CoMAT’s digitized Policy Library.
• Gain access to industry resources, definitions and view how CoMAT’s calculations work via the information tools.
• Collaborate with your team and CATF’s experts by leaving notes, comments, and sharing knowledge or resources.
