The article describes the emissions structure of greenhouse gases from oil and gas extraction companies. The contribution of stationary fuel combustion facilities to self-generated electricity generation is determined. An analysis of available greenhouse gas reduction technologies for prospective power plants has been conducted. An evaluation of the impact of alternative energy generation methods on the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions from power generation facilities has been carried out. The use of wind power plants has been considered as renewable energy sources. The efficiency of gas turbine installation with combined cycle has been evaluated. A techno-economic model of carbon capture and storage facilities has been developed to assess ways to reduce emissions from power generation facilities. The potential for emissions reduction using «conventional» carbon capture technology from power plants flue gases, with a shift from open cycle to combined cycle power generation, as well as the use of renewable energy sources and a combination of the listed methods, has been calculated. An increase in the effectiveness of emission reduction and a decrease in project decarbonization costs through the combination of carbon capture technology with alternative methods of reducing carbon dioxide emissions intensity have been noted. Based on the results of the analysis, a ranking of proposed methods has been compiled based on the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the costs of achieving the target emission level. Based on the ranking of technologies, an individual approach to choosing a method for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from prospective power plants has been developed, taking into account the location of power plants and the required emission reduction target.
