Summary of The Oil and Gas Industry in Net Zero Transitions

Core Content

This report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) provides an in-depth analysis of the role of the oil and gas industry in the global transition to net zero emissions. It outlines the challenges and opportunities the industry faces, emphasizing the need for a strategic shift to align with climate goals and the Paris Agreement.

Main Points

1. The Oil and Gas Industry in Net Zero Transitions

• Global Consumption (2022): Approximately 97 million barrels per day (mb/d) of oil and 4,150 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas were consumed globally, resulting in over 18 gigatonnes (Gt) of CO₂ emissions, which account for about half of all energy-related CO₂ emissions.
• Demand Trends: Under current policy settings, oil and gas demand is expected to peak by the end of the decade. However, the rate of decline after the peak is insufficient to meet the 1.5°C climate goal.
• Scenario Projections:
  • Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS): Oil and gas demand peaks before 2030, but declines are not enough to achieve net zero.
  • Announced Pledges Scenario (APS): Demand declines by about 2% annually to 2050, reaching 55 mb/d and 2,400 bcm.
  • Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario: Demand declines by over 5% annually, reaching 24 mb/d and 920 bcm.
• Industry Structure:
  • Major international oil and gas companies ("majors") account for less than 13% of global production and reserves.
  • National oil companies (NOCs) hold over 50% of global production and nearly 60% of reserves.
• Investment Trends:
  • Oil and gas companies contribute less than 1% of global clean energy investment.
  • In 2022, the industry invested around USD 20 billion in clean energy, which is 2.5% of total capital spending.
• Emissions Reduction:
  • Emissions from oil and gas operations account for nearly 15% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
  • To align with a 1.5°C scenario, these emissions must be cut by over 60% by 2030 and near zero by the early 2040s.
  • Methane leaks are a major contributor, accounting for half of total emissions from the industry.

2. Strategic Responses of Companies

• Financial Pressures: The profitability of oil and gas is expected to decline as the world moves toward net zero. In a 1.5°C scenario, the industry's value is projected to drop by 60% compared to current levels.
• Company Actions:
  • Many companies have set targets to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions.
  • Fewer have committed to diversifying into clean energy technologies.
• Future Company Models:
  • A net zero "major" energy company would focus on low-emission technologies and diversification.
  • A liquids-focused NOC would reduce reliance on fossil fuels and invest in cleaner alternatives.
  • An independent gas-focused company could leverage its expertise in gas-related technologies.
• Investment Framework:
  • A minimum of 50% of capital expenditures should be directed toward clean energy projects by 2030.
  • Investment in new oil and gas projects must be carefully managed to avoid overinvestment or underinvestment risks.

3. Strategic Responses of Exporters and Importers

• Producer Economies:
  • Many rely heavily on oil and gas revenues and face significant economic pressures as demand declines.
  • Per capita net income from oil and gas is expected to be 60% lower in 2030 under a 1.5°C scenario.
• Transition Challenges:
  • Producer economies must diversify their economies and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
  • They need to phase out inefficient subsidies and increase clean energy deployment.
• Collaboration:
  • Exporters and importers must work together to ensure an equitable and just transition.
  • This includes developing new low-emission products and value chains, and ensuring energy security.

4. Technology Options for the Oil and Gas Industry

• Low-Emissions Fuels and Technologies:
  • Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), offshore wind, geothermal, and bioenergy are key technologies that the industry can support.
  • Oil and gas companies are already involved in 90% of global CCUS capacity.
• CCUS Limitations:
  • CCUS is essential in certain sectors but not a solution for maintaining the status quo.
  • It would require an unrealistic amount of carbon capture (around 32 billion tonnes by 2050) to meet the 1.5°C goal, which is more than current global electricity demand.

5. Conclusion

• The oil and gas industry must adapt to the net zero transition, as it is unlikely to be a long-term dominant player.
• The transition presents both risks and opportunities for the industry and its stakeholders.
• A collaborative and proactive approach is essential for ensuring a just and sustainable shift to clean energy.

Key Information

• Industry Role: The industry is a major contributor to global emissions but has a critical role in supporting clean energy technologies.
• Investment Shift: The industry must significantly increase its clean energy investment and reduce traditional operations.
• Climate Risks: Continued reliance on fossil fuels increases the risk of stranded assets and market volatility.
• Equity and Security: Producer economies must balance energy security with the need to transition to a low-carbon future.

Final Statement

• The oil and gas industry faces a moment of truth in the net zero transition.
• It must either scale back operations and invest in clean energy or risk becoming obsolete.
• The report serves as a reference for the ongoing debate at COP28 and beyond.
