ADGAS Environmental Management System (EMS): An Overview

January, 2007

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVESTo understand the principles of the ADGAS EMS To learn about the ISO 14001 framework for environmental management systems To understand the significant environmental aspects related to all ADGAS activitiesTo understand the benefits of implementing an environmental management system related to ADGAS activities

Environmental Issues in generalClimate changeAcid rainDeforestationDesertificationWater contaminationThreat to biodiversity (extinction of species)Contamination of soil and groundwater

A MANAGEMENT SYSTEMA structured framework of controls from management to operations (task) level for a business process; ensuring that a process or activity is performed to requirements including continuous improvement of process performance.

TRADITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTEach individual environmental issue is managed as a separate program.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT UNDER the HSEMSAll environmental issues are managed usinga coordinated system led by the policy.

BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING AN EMSReduced environmental risk and liability Improved adherence to applicable ADNOC standards and guidelines Improved environmental awareness Improved cost control Improved community acceptance Improved investor/shareholder confidence

What is ISO 14001?ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems (EMS)It is based upon the Plan-Do-check-Act management framework for continual improvement

ISO 14001 PRINCIPLESAn organization should:Define its environmental policy and ensure commitment to its EMS. Formulate a plan to fulfill its environmental policy. Develop the capabilities and support mechanisms necessary to achieve its environmental policy, objectives and targets. Measure, monitor and evaluate its environmental performance. Review and continually improve its EMS, with the objective of improving its overall environmental performance.

Internal ADGAS Drivers for ISO 14001 Certification

Enhance competitiveness of ADGAS over other producers not certified to ISO 14001Improve management of environmental risksReceive recognition for hard work and dedication of ADGAS personnel to improving environmental performanceAnticipation of ADNOC requirements for certification in the medium time frame

HSE Management at ADGAS

ADGASs Site HSE Rules, Guidance and procedures. How We Do ItPROCESSES link the activities which we carry out to meet the HSE expectations.What We DoADGAS Programmes demonstrate the way in which we meet ADNOC HSE expectations.A common set of HSE ELEMENTS and EXPECTATIONS which have been defined by ADNOC. The ADGAS HSE POLICY is defined by ADNOC expectations and signed by ADGAS GM.

HSE Policy Statement

Key Environmental Features of HSE PolicyCompliance of regulations and standards

Efficient use of energy and resources, Reduce Flaring and Emission

Continual improvement(Follow laws)

(Prevent Pollution)

(Make things better)

Environmental AspectsENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT: Element of an organizations activities, products or services that can interact with the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partly resulting from an organizations activities, products or service.

SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT: Through an impact risk ranking these aspects have been determined a high priority and require specific management programs within the Environmental Management System (EMS) to adequately control the underlying risk activity.

Environmental Aspects

Environmental Aspects & ImpactsList some of the environmental aspects related to your job functions

Also find the potential impacts of those aspects

Environmental Aspects

Environmental Aspects have been identified for all ADGAS departmentsA risk ranking has been completed of all aspects to determine those which are significantSignificant aspects are those which are actively managed by the EMSA full listing of environmental aspects and significant environmental aspects is available on the ADGAS Environmental Aspects Register( Chapter 7 of EMS Manual placed in ADGAS Intranet)The total no. of ADGAS significant environmental aspects is 15

ADGAS Environmental ObjectivesADGAS ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES1. Reduce CO2 emissions by capturing flared gas 2. Reduce SO2 emissions through plant efficiency improvement3. Replace Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) with eco friendly substitutes4. Reduce impact of its operation on marine environment5. Encourage waste segregation and recycling for the prevention of land pollution.6. Encourage environmental awareness amongst its employees

Objectives and Targets

Corporate environmental objectives and targets are set by ADGASEach department sets environmental objectives and targets in consideration of its significant environmental aspectsObjectives must be specific and targets must be measurable


Objective

Target

Emissions (like CO2,SO2, NOx, particulates)

Reduce CO2 emissions by capturing flared gas

Reduce flaring by 25% by 2007 (based on average flaring level of 2001-2006)

Environmental Programs

Environmental Programs are programs established to meet objectives and targets

Environmental Programs identify tasks, responsibilities, time frames and resources to achieve objectives and targets

Environmental Programs are documented in ISO 14001 Guidance Manual which can be viewed in ADGAS intranet under HSE EMS manual.

Operational ControlsWhat are some operational controls in place to control or mitigate the environmental aspects/impacts from occurring and taking place?
