Two-thirds of fossil fuels— including one-third of oil reserves—should not be burned if global warming is to stay below the 2°C target. (IPCC, IEA, UCL) Climate Strategy for Fossil Fuels Carnegie’s Oil-Climate Index compares global oils’ GHG emissions throughout the supply chain to assist stakeholders in developing a targeted climate strategy for fossil fuels Which one-third of oil supplies? There is at least an 80% difference in GHG emissions between global oils
OCI Overall: Phase 1 Results
Upstream Production Costs If carbon isn’t priced (explicitly or implicitly), BAU won’t consider the climate Oil Economics vs. GHG Impacts
Downstream Product Values Current market incentives to combust carbon Need for Informed Policymaking: Biofuels are displacing which oil?
