What is the carbon footprint in the oil and gas industry?
A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with the activities of a person or other entity (e.g., country, industry, business). It includes direct emissions as well as emissions that are required to produce electricity associated with services and goods that are consumed. Carbon footprint also consists of the emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide [ref].
Greenhouse gases have far-reaching health and environmental effects, trapping some of the Earth’s outgoing energy, thus retaining heat in the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. The oil and gas industry accounts for 9% of all human-made greenhouse gas emissions and produces the fuel that creates 33% of global emissions [ref].
