Comprehensive Showcase of Global Decarbonizing Oil & Gas Sector Innovations & Startups
From CLIMAFIX, the leader in climate innovation intelligence
Decarbonizing Oil & Gas Sector Introduction:
The most prominent CO2 emissions from the Oil & gas industry happen downstream when we use our vehicles for transport. But that is considered as Scope 3 emissions for the industry – something that the industry’s operation does not directly generate.
The oil & gas industry operations in themselves are large contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for about 9 percent of all human GHG emissions – a substantial 4.5 billion tons. In addition, it produces the fuels that create another 33 percent of global emissions.
Interestingly, a significant portion of this industry’s emissions stems from methane emissions, a significant portion of these being fugitive emissions from leaks from inefficient operations. Yet another large contributor to this industry is the flaring of methane gas at many oil wells around the world.
Some large companies in the industry had started taking measures to abate their greenhouse emissions much earlier than many other industries. They were good, but not good enough.
But the times are changing. Driven by market demands and investor pressures, the industry has set ambitious emissions-related targets to survive (and perhaps even flourish) in a future low-carbon world.
