Climate and Emissions
Benchmark emissions performance, understand emissions drivers and assess reduction strategies across the global energy sector, supporting organisations operating in the oil and gas industry and wider energy transition markets.
Our research provides detailed insight into emissions across the upstream oil and gas industry, helping oil and gas companies understand environmental impact, regulatory pressures and opportunities to reduce carbon output.
Climate & Emissions, Energy Transition & Supply Chain
Understanding Climate and Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry
Emissions management is becoming a central priority across the oil and gas sector, particularly within the upstream oil and gas industry where exploration and production activities contribute significantly to global carbon emissions and greenhouse gas emissions.
As global energy demand continues to grow, organisations must balance reliable energy supply from oil and natural gas with the need to reduce environmental impact. This has placed increasing pressure on oil and gas companies to improve efficiency and invest in emissions reduction technologies.
Understanding emissions performance across the upstream oil and gas sector is essential for organisations looking to manage risk, comply with regulation and support long-term sustainability goals.
Industry Perspective on Emissions and Energy Transition
The drive to reduce emissions is reshaping the oil and gas industry, as companies transition towards lower carbon operations while maintaining production from existing oil and gas reserves.
For organisations operating across the upstream oil and gas industry, emissions reduction is closely linked to operational efficiency, technology adoption and investment strategy. Initiatives such as electrification, improved asset performance and carbon capture and storage are becoming increasingly important.
At the same time, fluctuations in oil and gas prices and changing policy frameworks continue to influence how quickly organisations can implement emissions reduction strategies.

Global Energy and Emissions Context
Emissions across the global oil and gas industry are closely linked to petroleum production, resource development and overall energy production. As demand for fossil fuel energy continues, reducing emissions while maintaining supply is a key challenge.
Technologies such as carbon capture and storage and improvements in operational efficiency are helping reduce emissions across the upstream oil and gas sector, while supporting continued production of oil and natural gas.
For organisations operating across the global energy market, understanding emissions trends is essential for managing risk, meeting regulatory requirements and supporting long-term sustainability strategies.

Emissions across the global oil and gas industry are closely linked to how energy is produced, transported and consumed across the wider power sector. Traditional energy systems, built over millions of years from natural resources, continue to rely on hydrocarbons formed over millions of years, which are extracted as raw material from each oil field.
Today, energy systems must support both power generation and electricity generation, ensuring reliable supply across industries and economies. Regions such as the Middle East and the European Union play a key role in balancing supply and demand, influencing global energy prices and shaping investment decisions across the energy sector.
For energy companies operating across the oil and gas sector, managing emissions is now a central priority. Alongside reducing air pollution, organisations must balance short term operational demands with long-term decarbonisation strategies.
The transition from traditional energy systems, which date back to the industrial revolution, requires coordinated efforts across a wide range of technologies, including renewables, carbon capture and improved efficiency in upstream operations.
The Earth has warmed about 1.2 degrees centigrade since the late 1800s. And most of that warming about one degree of it actually has happened in the last 50 or 60 years.
